Perhaps you are navigating a major life transition and feeling the weight of it in your body and mind. Maybe you are a teen overwhelmed by social pressure, a child struggling with "big feelings" at school, or a new mother facing the raw reality of postpartum anxiety. You might feel "stuck" in a cycle of stress and want to find your way back to calm. Your goal is to feel regulated, understood, and confident in your own body. Whether you are a student facing classroom stress or a woman navigating the journey of motherhood, you want a therapist who meets you with deep empathy, lived experience, and practical tools to help you thrive.
I support families from the very beginning. By blending 20 years of school district expertise, specialized perinatal and parent coaching, I help you move from frustration to connection. Whether we are using play to help your child express emotions or somatic tools to help you navigate postpartum, my goal is to help your whole family feel more at ease.
I know how much courage it takes to reach out when life feels heavy. Whether you are seeking a safe space for your child to be heard or a compassionate place for your own healing, you don’t have to carry the weight alone. I invite you to reach out today for a free 20 minute phone call so we can begin moving toward with more ease and connection.
