The world we are currently living in can be incredibly overwhelming and full of constant transitions. I strive to provide clients with a safe and supportive space to grow and heal, especially during this chaotic time. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing a life transition, such as coping with the diagnosis of a chronic medical condition or food allergies. I understand how the stress of these experiences can impact every area of a person’s world and I assist clients in bringing balance back into their lives by incorporating aspects of both physical and mental health.

“I don’t know who I am anymore.” “When am I going to enjoy life again?” “Other parents seem to be able to do it with multiple kids, why can’t I do it with one baby?” These might be phrases you have said to yourself. Believe it or not, these are very common and can make us feel alone. But the reality is, a lot of people have had them. Life throws us hurdles and although they may seem difficult, with the right tools and support they can be overcome. Society wants us to believe that becoming a parent is a storybook time in our lives. The fact is, parenthood can also be the most difficult, isolating, and confusing time.

My belief is to listen without making judgments, without giving advice, and to help my clients understand their feelings. I also believe the client is entirely capable of fulfilling their own potential for growth and change. Furthermore, I believe it is important for the client to experience self-actualization and experience the changes in the “here and now.” Change happens when a client has found a resolution after having an internal conflict with themselves in regard to meeting the needs and desires of the heart and mind. Personal growth is evidence of change and can be spontaneous without effort.

As a therapist, I am focused on being genuine and mindful with client(s). My individualized approach, along with working together produces the best results.

As humans, we all face an array of challenges, experience pain and suffering, and sometimes, find ourselves feeling alone in the dark, helpless and hopeless. I understand asking for help can be the most terrifying and uncomfortable decision we have to make during these times. As a therapist, it is my goal to empower my clients through these hardships, to find the light. I am invested in and unafraid to provide the deep connection and nonjudgmental space essential to think, feel, and work through any fears and challenges appearing in the way of achieving your goals.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I practice from a trauma-informed, humanistic approach that I adapt to meet each client's needs. I aim to create a warm, reflective environment where client's have the capacity for personal growth and to gain a deeper understanding of themselves.
