I’m also passionate about supporting clients who are navigating relationship difficulties including those who have experienced domestic violence.
My own adjustment to motherhood came with challenges – particularly with guilt, anxiety and isolation that accompanies many parents’ early experiences. Giving back to the perinatal community and helping clients through similar challenges brings so much meaning to my work.

My clinical focus is grounded in helping clients understand long-standing patterns such as perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, and disconnection through a relational, trauma-informed, and compassionate lens.
Many of the people I support are deeply perceptive and sensitive, exploring whether Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD shapes their inner world. For those who are late-identified or high-masking, therapy offers a safe space to untangle identity from adaptation and rebuild self-trust, allowing neurodivergence to be lived with greater authenticity and stability.

Whether we focus on reducing stress or anxiety, recovering from burnout, shifting relationship patterns, increasing self-worth, untangling difficult emotions, processing the past, resolving inner conflicts, addressing the effects of trauma – or something else – my aim is to help you navigate through it while finding more clarity, meaning, and resilience.
Some of life's problems are hard to solve alone. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure how. Maybe you’re recognizing that you need focused support during this difficult time. Or maybe you've been coping for a long time and now want to resolve a persistent concern that's been complicating your efforts to live the life you want. Wherever you are in your process, I'll meet you there with warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity to create the changes you're aiming for.

Together we’ll chart a course forward - one that brings happier relationships, skills that make the hard days a little softer, and a greater sense of fulfillment.
I am passionate about supporting people who are looking to reconnect with joy in their lives. My practice is rooted in the knowledge that many symptoms are coping mechanisms that helped us to get through past pain. There is another way forward – a way that breaks the patterns of old survival strategies and allows us more choice, more peace, and more relief. Whatever it is that you are facing, I can offer a warm and nonjudgmental space for you to process what hurts and move toward healing. Through our work together, we will write a new story that will support you to experience life in the way you want to.
