Life has challenging seasons. Whether juggling work and school to graduate with a college degree, parenting a child with unique needs, or facing a serious illness, it can bring overwhelming emotions, uncertainty, and burnout. You may be holding it together for everyone else while quietly struggling with anxiety, grief, frustration, or isolation. Therapy offers a compassionate, confidential space to process what you are carrying, develop healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with your strength. Whatever season you are navigating, you are worthy of feeling seen, supported, and understood.
I am a cancer survivor, who has navigated from first diagnosis through active treatment to survivorship. It is an honor to work with the cancer community to tackle the unique challenges we face. I am also passionate about working with fellow parents, especially those raising neurodivergent children, to improve family dynamics and manage everyday stressors.
Additionally, I have over 14 years of experience working in higher education with both traditional-aged students and adult learners, supporting their academic journeys through the use of goal setting, career planning, navigating personal challenges and work-school-family balance, as well as celebrating both big and small successes.
