Does this sound like you? You’ve also been through some really hard things. No one would know it b/c you present really well & seem entirely put together on the outside- but privately, you’re hurting on the inside. The source of your pain might be known or waiting to be discovered. Or, maybe you’ve been doubting yourself, dealing with inner critic thoughts, or just feeling stuck. It’s been so long you can’t remember when you truly felt like yourself. You might even think things can’t change b/c you’ve been dealing with stuff longer than you’d like to admit. I want you to know it's not your fault & this isn't how things have to be.

You're here because you're feeling overwhelmed and stuck and you're ready for things to be different. Don't keep struggling alone, I'm here to support you. A warm and compassionate space will help you feel safe to share your challenges. Together we'll explore how your past is impacting your present, find patterns that aren't helpful anymore, and how change is possible. You'll get ideas on how to apply your strengths, learn practical skills and new strategies to try, and non-judgemental perspectives to consider. The feedback you share will personalize your journey as we join together to find your new way forward.

Any individual who wants to work towards change in their life or who wants to understand their current experience in the context of their history is someone I want to work with. Together we can establish and reach many possibilities. If you have experienced trauma in your history we may explore hypnosis and EMDR as treatment possibilities.

It is important as women and mothers we take the steps to care for ourselves, as we are being pulled in many directions throughout the day. As a parent, I was young, unprepared, and unsupported in challenges that I faced. This has led to my interest in supporting women and parents in their journey. I strive to empower all women to recognize the expectations that society places are not all attainable. You cannot be all of the things, all of the time, and it is okay to slow down and take care of you. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with pieces in life and transitioning to adulthood.

Evening and weekend appointments available! Everyone has a story. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, unpack negative self-talk, and learn effective strategies.

I am particularly passionate about working alongside women in healing their relationship with food and reconnecting with their bodies.

Are you experiencing burnout from the many demands of motherhood? I support women in various stages of parenthood from fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting & everything in between. You are not alone in these struggles & you don't have to face them alone either.

I specialize in Women 's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high two years into the pandemic and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed.

They've had to deal with difficult dynamics at work and in their personal lives, are coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present trauma. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.
