Beginning the search for support takes courage, and I’m thankful you’ve found your way here

I’d love to share a little about myself and the approach I bring to therapy.

I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges to find healing, growth, and balance. With over 18 years of experience in the mental health field, and more than 10 years working in crisis intervention, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult and transformative moments. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the strength people carry within them and the value of having support during life's most difficult seasons of life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts or emotions, or struggling with anxiety, adjusting to a major life transition, depression, a chronic illness, navigating postpartum experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. 

As both a mother and a therapist, I understand that pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood can be filled with both joy and unexpected challenges. It's common to feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected as you adjust to this new season of life. Through my personal experience, professional training, and work with postpartum mothers and the perinatal community, I understand the emotional complexities that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences, navigate life transitions, strengthen your coping skills, and reconnect with yourself as you move toward healing and balance.

 

I also specialize in supporting individuals living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, celiac disease, and gluten-free lifestyles. Living with a chronic condition affects far more than your physical health. It often requires constant planning, self-advocacy, and vigilance while navigating grief, uncertainty, and changes in identity. Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis or managing the ongoing emotional impact of chronic illness, therapy can provide a place to process those experiences and build resilience.

 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in empathy. I believe that healing happens through connection, and I am committed to meeting each client with kindness, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity. I see therapy as a partnership where we can work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you want for yourself. Above all, I want my clients to know they don't have to navigate difficult seasons alone. Whatever brings you to therapy, I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you on your journey toward healing and meaningful change.
