I believe you are the expert in your journey to healing, therefore, I trust that you will lead me to the most challenging areas of life.

Currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with mothers who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and/or who are just feeling overwhelmed.

It is so easy to lose yourself in it all. I am here to help you navigate your role as a parent as well as to help you find the space to foster your own self-compassion and self-care.

Are you a working professional feeling stressed or overwhelmed due to changes at your job or home? Are you feeling grief or trauma over losing loved ones, employment, or lifestyles and struggling to move forward? Do you feel like you are constantly setting goals you're unable to achieve?

I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture, and believe these experiences and identities have a place in a successful therapeutic relationship. Further, I have experience working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals, and all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome clients. I believe in the power of community that is built on shared values and experiences. If you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ and/or gaming communities and would like to explore these identities as part of your therapy experience, or you would simply prefer a therapist within these communities, we may be a good fit.

I work with adult women who are struggling with a variety of issues including (but not limited to) personal and professional transitions, relationships, identity, anxiety, and depression. I am interested in addressing the many unique challenges that women face while navigating their lives: not feeling seen, the mental burden of feeling overly-responsible for others, burnout, anger/irritability, emotional numbing, withdrawal and isolation, body image, and issues of self-worth and self-esteem. I want to help women develop their sense of themselves and connect with their power.

Are you struggling due to anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or the impacts of Trauma? Is worry making it difficult to concentrate? You don't have to suffer alone; fear doesn't need to make decisions for you any longer.

Together we can identify these stuck points, find hope in new strategies that match your current needs and values, and open the door to more meaningful experiences and relationships.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples and families, and I believe in the healing power of relationships: no matter the wounds, if all parties are willing to heal, I will help. In today’s changing environment, we are often disconnected and fragmented; this can be seen and felt on both micro and macro levels, contributing to high levels of stress and anxiety. I am fiercely committed to restoring essential connections in our relationships with one another, our environment and mother earth. One of my primary goals is helping others achieve optimal performance in personal, relational, and professional areas of one’s life.

As a wife and a mom, I understand how heavy your heart might feel. You were not meant to walk this life in survival mode.

I enjoy working with a variety of populations and attending training classes and conferences to better support those populations, including the LGBTQ+ community.

Healing begins when empathy is offered first to your own journey and then to the world around you. It would be my privilege to support you throughout your journey towards healing, uncovering a deeper comprehension of yourself, and the world around you.

It is through exploring our lived experiences and perceptions that we can become more aware how we operate, respond, and live in this world and can facilitate healing for ourselves and in our relationships.
