Are you a woman struggling with life right now? Feeling overwhelmed by partnerships, parenting, work, caregiving etc.? I See YOU, and I’m here to help. My passion—and the focus of my practice—is supporting women in moving from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling centered and aligned with what truly matters to them. I believe that truly meaningful, change-making therapy ultimately comes down to the relationship between you and your therapist—the space that allows for vulnerability, exploration, and growth. My therapeutic passion is fueled by my lived experiences and grounded in 20 years of empirically based clinical training.
My expertise: Women’s health across the lifespan. I help women navigate challenges in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, caregiving/sandwiching, career, transitions, and sex (including desire/libido and pain). I have specialized training in peri/menopause and am particularly passionate about helping midlife women move from "surviving to thriving"
I have great passion for the work I do and am dedicated to helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals and more meaningful life experiences. My clients tell me that my genuineness, openness, acceptance, and ability to connect with them as a unique individual, is what sets me apart from their experiences with other therapists.

"
I use a culturally humble, relational, attachment based approach to my therapy. Your first few sessions will be about starting to understand you as an individual. Where do you come from, where do you want to be and go? What and who is important to you? Where are you struggling? Therapy will explore these from an emotional and supportive space to gain insight and get unstuck in struggle spots.
