About My Clients

Mothers often struggle with chronic stress, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and finding balance. We are tired, always on the go, and often lonely. You deserve a therapist who understands your journey and can relate to your challenges. Maybe it has been a long time since you've had a conversation that was just about you. Maybe it has been a long time since you've had a space that felt safe to cry, grieve, be angry, or ask questions. Therapy can provide that space.

My Background and Approach

I began practicing as a therapist in 2012 and have experience in individual and group therapy. I have a master's degree in mental health counseling and additional training in somatic and trauma therapies. I have worked primarily in outpatient settings, including private practice, employee assistance programs, and substance abuse treatment. I take a holistic approach to therapy to help clients connect more deeply to their thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and experiences to find new ways of living and facing challenges.
