Our Core Services

  • We offer one-on-one therapy sessions with licensed mental health professionals who specialize in women's issues. Therapy is available for a wide range of concerns, including stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and trauma. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-focused Therapy.

  • Group therapy and support circles allow women to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. These groups are safe, supportive spaces where women can share their experiences, learn from one another, and gain insight from group discussions. Topics may include managing work-life balance, post-partum wellness, navigating career transitions, and coping with grief and loss.

  • We offer wellness retreats and workshops for women seeking to create a fulfilling life aligned with their personal values. These may include workshops on self-compassion, mindfulness, stress management, and healthy relationships. Our services can help women set and achieve goals, whether it's finding career fulfillment, improving relationships, or developing personal wellness routines. Through this, our hope is to provide women the opporotunity to create a fulfilling life aligned with their personal values.

  • For women in the childbearing years, we provide specialized maternal mental health services to support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This includes therapy and counseling for managing symptoms relating to perinatal mental health challenges, anxiety, and body image concerns. Our experts are trained to work with women navigating the emotional complexities of motherhood, offering both individual therapy and couples counseling.

  • We offer services tailored to women navigating the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause. Our licensed therapists provide therapy focused on managing symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and stress, as well as strategies for enhancing self-acceptance during midlife transitions. 

  • Women living with chronic illness, autoimmune diseases, or long-term health conditions often face unique mental health challenges. Our organization provides specialized counseling for women who are managing the psychological impacts of illness, helping them build resilience, improve coping strategies, and find a sense of balance in their daily lives.

  • I am committed to providing a safe, hopeful, and supportive space for you to feel comfortable and free from judgement throughout the therapeutic process. Seeking help takes a lot of courage and I applaud any person who takes the first step. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relational conflict and overcoming difficult life transitions. Collectively, we will discuss and process your thoughts and feelings as they relate to both past and present wounds.


    My counseling approach is strength-based, flexible and client-centered. I use a relational and integrative approach with cognitive behavioral, solution-focused and additional evidence-based modalities. I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques into my practice to assist clients with focusing on the present, without interpretation or judgement.


    Collaboratively, we will work on identifying your goals and remain focused on the process of change towards feeling your best, authentic self. I will provide insight and encouragement during the process to assist with overcoming barriers to renewed happiness. My hope is for you to feel empowered within your own therapeutic journey.

  • Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

    My background has been centered around supporting individuals of all ages in navigating career transitions and higher education opportunities. This has included helping individuals through the emotional rollercoaster of unexpected job loss, or simply looking to explore new opportunities for meaningful work. With years of experience working with college students, I offer support through the common challenges that arise during this season of life, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and stress management. Whether you're adjusting to academic pressures, managing the stress of independence, or dealing with personal struggles, I'm here to help you thrive.

    We’ll work hard in therapy to address the challenges you’re facing, but I also strive to make the process as enjoyable as possible. I have a laid-back, approachable personality and enjoy incorporating humor into our sessions because I believe that healing doesn’t have to be all serious. Together, we’ll work on building resilience, finding balance, and embracing joy, even through life’s toughest moments.I look forward to working with you!

  • My hope is to provide you with an inviting and empowering space to feel authentically seen and supported. I am an admirer of mindfulness and advocate for mental well being. I believe we all have the capability to be happy, healthy and content with ourselves. Providing a safe space to express thoughts, feelings and emotions without judgement helps to create awareness of who we are, what we are struggling with and how to understand it.

    I have a passion for women’s health and wellness and utilize the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) method with the goal to create an environment for you to be and feel your most authentic self. I use a flexible, collaborative, client centered approach. Solution focused and goal oriented. Utilizing reframing techniques to understand why we feel and think the way we do.
