Life can be challenging and confusing at times, but that's what makes it beautiful. Each of us has a unique perspective on the world, but sometimes our perception can be clouded, affecting how we deal with our thoughts, emotions, and actions. That's why I'm here to offer you a safe, nonjudgmental, and understanding environment. Together, we can explore the underlying causes of your struggles, enhance your strengths, and discover healthier coping mechanisms.

Motherhood is the hardest job on the planet. From the moment that you are pregnant, you may find yourself faced with hormonal changes and unexpected emotions. During the postpartum period, you may find that you have questions about your new identity, a sense of grief over the life you had before, and even with all the excitement there may still be some sadness and the looming question of "Is it supposed to feel like this?" Becoming a mom can bring lots of unexpected stuff to the surface. Whether you are dealing with postpartum depression, anxiety, or just a sense that something is off, I am here to help.

I take great satisfaction in collaborating with those recognizing untapped potential. My focus includes transitional phases often underestimated by society such as new relationships, college transitions, pregnancy, parenting, and the 'empty nest' phase. I also support during difficult periods like grief, breakups, and professional stagnation or disappointments. My goal is to guide and assist individuals on these diverse life journeys.

Life can throw a number of curve-balls our way. Sometimes these experiences are manageable, but often they bring up a number of feelings, thoughts, and reactions that impact our daily functioning. Perhaps you are struggling with infertility, grief/loss, the challenges of pregnancy + new parenthood, or postpartum anxiety/depression. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the narrative it deserves. Or are experiencing stress from a new life transition. Whatever it might be, I offer a collaborative, safe, and supportive environment to find the solutions that best meet your needs.

Navigating motherhood can feel like sailing uncharted waters, especially when you're weathering the storms of mood and anxiety challenges during and after pregnancy, trauma, or the delicate dynamics of NICU caregiving. If you find yourself feeling lost in the vastness of maternal responsibilities—overwhelmed, unheard, and searching for a beacon of hope—Mama Heal Therapy is your sanctuary. We understand the silent battles you fight every day. The strength it takes to balance the essence of being a loving wife and mother, while also striving to heal and rediscover your inner peace.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about it, wondering about what’s going on. Wondering if the thoughts and feelings you have been having about conception, pregnancy, delivery, or being a mother make sense. Perhaps you’ve been trying to convince yourself that things aren't so bad or what you’re feeling is normal. Now, if you sit back and take a moment to yourself, if you take a moment to visualize what you would like your journey into motherhood to look like, if you’re really honest with yourself... You’re over it! If this is resonating, let's talk about your goals and that change you're ready to create to become a confident mom!

Therapy is not a one size fits all process. It is my role as a therapist to find out more about who you are as a multifaceted individual and find what evidence based approach works best for you through empowerment and collaboration. In order to do this, I must work alongside each client to build a foundation of safety, trust, and rapport.

Reaching out for help can feel intimidating. You may find yourself struggling to the point of being overwhelmed.

It would be my privilege to collaborate with you in your healing journey and find ways to make it through the challenges you are facing.

Hello and a warm embrace to all seeking growth, healing, and transformation. I am a dedicated and compassionate LCSW with 8 years of experience supporting and guiding individuals on their mental and emotional wellness journey. I received my MSW degree from Binghamton University and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing old wounds, and empowering you to make meaningful changes.

The experience of pregnancy is life changing and many of us don't openly talk about it all - the scary, anxious, sad, frustrating, contradictory, and lonely feelings that may intrusively appear in your thoughts. You are not alone and you shouldn't have to learn to manage these thoughts and feelings alone. You are seen, your feelings are valid, and there is no shame in the struggle through this phase of life.

I am invested in helping you become your best self and live your best life! Do you feel stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, that you can't seem to break? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? The process of therapy with me may involve becoming aware of patterns that are holding you back, enhancing your self-worth, and reconnecting with yourself and others. It will also likely involve developing new ways of managing and responding to difficult feelings, thoughts, and working on behaviors that are holding you back from living the life you want.

Motherhood is not always how you expect it to be. For some it is fiiled with anxiety and depression. You are not alone, 1 in 7 women will experience some form of anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy and/or up to a year postpartum. It does not have to be this hard, you do not have to do this alone.

Our practice is founded on the principle that every individual is capable of change. We have combined our unique expertise, both professionally and from our distinct fields, to develop a safe, therapeutic environment that is capable of servicing an array of needs such as: anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood and adolescent issues, marital and couples struggles, sexual identity issues among many more. Seeds of Hope Behavioral Health is comprised of a psychologist and a mental health counselor. We are licensed in the state of Florida and are trained to help you with your individual therapeutic needs.

Recognizing that you need help is a courageous first step toward healing. Life is filled with twists and turns. Sometimes we run into a turn that is too sharp, and we hit a wall. Although we cannot avoid adversity, we can learn and grow from it, even as we experience feelings of insurmountable distress. Together we will work toward uncovering that strength and empowering you to lead an authentic life, filled with self-compassion and enhanced by healthy coping skills and improved relationships. I compassionately work with teens, adults, and couples undergoing life transitions, and suffering from anxiety, depression and grief.
