My expertise is in working on issues such as improving relationships, coping with anxiety and/or depression, life transitions (particularly pregnancy and early parenthood), and healing from trauma.
Do you want to feel more connected to others? How about to yourself? Are things from your past getting in the way? Therapy allows for the time and space to focus on you. I believe all of us are capable of change, and therapy is one way to begin that change process. I work from an empowerment approach - in other words, I know that you are the expert about who you are, where you're from, and where you're going. My role is to provide feedback, guidance, and a safe environment to process that journey.

My ideal client is someone who’s been trying to keep everything together but is starting to feel the weight of it all. They may seem capable on the outside yet often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. They often put others first and have trouble giving themselves the same care or compassion. They’re looking for a safe, supportive space to slow down, be honest about how they’re really feeling, and feel understood. Their goals are to find more calm, confidence, and balance — to better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-compassion.

Mental health is more than a profession to me it is personal. Meeting people where they are and helping them get to where they want to be is my passion. I use motivational interviewing to connect with and engage my clients in a safe space of acceptance and compassion. With this evidence-based practice we work together to find internal motivation to assist with making changes they want to see in their lives. Life is hard, change is harder, but I know with support and the right tools anything is possible.

My specialization recognizes the connection and care you offer your child during early parenting years or perinatal period.
Parents and caregivers often need support as they adapt to the changing needs of an infant or young child, while also paying attention to their own well-being. Teachers and clinical professionals also may have questions and concerns during times of increased stress, unexpected, or frightening events. Too much stress, or too many stressful events can result in overwhelming or extreme reactions in both young children and in adults. I provide therapy with young children and their caregivers using interactive play activities, sensory strategies and guided communication to increase positive and loving connections.

” I have specific interest and training in the pregnancy and postpartum period, and early parenting.
I’ve found that patients often come to me during a time of transition. They are often grappling with separation, connection, and impactful decisions; and many set out to address issues of identity, family concerns, relationships, and careers. Therapy can be a process of both healing and growing. Together we can explore important aspects of your past, while working to improve your present. I foster warm and collaborative relationships, and aim for patients to feel understood, supported, and appropriately challenged. I approach each new therapy relationship with curiosity, flexibility, and openness.

Welcome! I am a therapist who helps people explore patterns, deepen self understanding, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s transitions with curiosity and compassion. Grounded in attachment theory and neuroscience, I work with you to explore how past experiences shaped the strategies you use to cope with your environment. Together we can see which strategies still serve you and which may be holding you back, creating space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I strive to offer a safe, thought provoking, sometimes lighthearted, and always genuine space.

As most of us have learned, life presents us with many opportunities for stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate challenges in our life. Each of us is unique and therapeutic treatment must also change based on this quality. Therapy is simply a tool that can help you steer the course of your life to the best of your ability so that you can achieve your goals. I provide supportive therapy at a non-judgmental stance and hope that you will find me open and easy to talk to.

Working with you to increase your experience of hope and of joy, and to help you dissolve your grief is my orientation in both short-term and longer-term therapy. So often hurt and knowledge get buried beneath unhelpful, and yet habitual, emotional responses and mind-sets. My goal is to help you understand and become your authentic self and to set aside those habits and practices which distress your mind and burden your heart.
