It takes courage to seek help and support, and I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be unpredictable, overwhelming, and challenging at times. The changes and transitions we experience in life may lead to feeling lost or unsure how to move forward. The good news is that there is help, and you are not alone. I am a wife, mom, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who is focused on helping clients navigate life’s obstacles, while building the tools necessary to make lasting changes and improve quality of life. My goal is to support and empower my clients by working collaboratively on the path to healing and wellness.
I have 10 years of experience working with clients across the lifespan. I specialize in caring for those experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, challenges with body image and low self-esteem, and family conflict. My approach is eclectic and includes modalities from Cognitive Behavior Therapy, TF-CBT, EMDR, and Person Centered Therapy.
I seek to provide a safe, warm, empathetic, non-judgmental space for clients to freely express themselves. I believe in holistic counseling and promoting total mental and emotional wellness. I currently treat teens, adults, and families providing perinatal mental health therapy. When you're ready to take the next step, I look forward to working with you!

I work with women, mothers, and families navigating the transition to motherhood. I value building rapport and developing the therapeutic relationship during the first few sessions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, and therapy is a process. Most clients see gradual improvement in symptoms after the first few sessions, and lasting improvement with consistency over time.
