I help clients overcome anxiety, depression, and handle life transitions with confidence.

You’re already stronger than you think you are.

Hi there,

I’m here to help you get your life back on track. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking—it’s about action. We’ll work together to build solid, real-world tools that make a difference, while also giving you the space to process the weight you’re carrying.

My clients usually find me when they’ve hit their breaking point. They’re done trying to carry the weight through life on their own and are ready for someone who’s authentic, skilled, and ready to meet them where they are and work side by side with them.

Clients know they’re working with someone who truly understands, making the journey feel safer, supportive, and deeply connected.

Are You Ready? Let’s Do This!

If You’re Ready For Real Solutions and Practical Tools You’re In The Right Place! 

Whether you’re done with anxiety taking control over your life, exhausted and depleted from depression, or struggling to manage the challenges of transition, and the pressure of managing it all feels like too much to carry on your own, this is where change begins. Take Heart, you don’t have to go through this alone.

“Take heart all you who hope in the lord.” Psalms 31:24

“You deserve more than survival. Together, we’ll use practical tools to help you feel grounded, steady and whole.”


What Therapy Looks Like with Me.

I’m here to walk alongside you to help you find footing by offering support, encouragement, and providing you with practical tools to help you navigate life’s challenges and build a future rooted in resilience and purpose one day at a time.

Working with me feels like a relaxed, comfortable conversation. Therapy is tailored to help you find peace, gain control, and heal at your own pace.

I offer a space for honesty, grace, real life healing, and grounded support. Every session is fueled by compassion, and encouragement with a focus on giving you practical tools to face life’s toughest challenges with confidence. 

For some, it’s learning simple techniques to halt anxiety in its tracks; for others, it’s finding a safe, judgment-free space to process grief and pain, without feeling like a burden. You’ll develop strategies to manage intense emotions and finally break free from the negative patterns holding you back.

Above all, you’ll receive the support and guidance to heal, feel empowered, and make meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy with Me Is a Space for honest healing and meaningful Progress!

what my clients say about working with me

“Take Heart” it’s more than our name, it’s our message. Healing is possible.

Clients often share how relieved they feel after years of being controlled by their emotions. With practical strategies to calm their minds, they no longer feel at the mercy of anxious thoughts and negative self-talk, they finally find peace

Those experiencing depression, have said they’ve found a judgment-free space where they can truly be themselves in their most vulnerable moments, hope, and process their experience. They gain tools to manage the emotional rollercoaster and feel empowered to reclaim a sense of self beyond their depression.
