Are you navigating anxiety, attachment or emotional injuries (developmental trauma), premenstrual challenges (PMDD, PCOS), perimenopause, or the layered experience of neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, AuDHD)? Have you spent years masking, over-functioning, or feeling dismissed or unseen — at home, in relationships, or within systems that were supposed to support you? Have you been impacted by domestic or intimate partner violence, including emotional, psychological, and coercive control? If so, you deserve a space where your experiences are validated and your story is heard.
With over two decades of experience supporting women, mothers, parents, and teens (10+), informed by a background in Early Childhood Education and Social Work, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and relational approach to therapy shaped by extensive work with neurodivergent individuals.
Therapy with me is grounded in safety, curiosity, and genuine connection. A space to slow down, regulate, process, and rebuild self-trust. We work together toward healing, clarity, and embodied confidence. If you’re considering support, I welcome you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
