Many of the women I work with are navigating the identity shifts that come with motherhood. Whether you’re adjusting to life with a new baby, balancing the demands of raising children, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself along the way, therapy can help. I also support women experiencing pregnancy loss, infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or difficulties with self-worth. Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you reconnect with yourself with greater clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance.
Therapy with me is compassionate and collaborative. I balance empathy with gentle accountability, helping clients better understand themselves while making meaningful changes. Together, we'll build self-awareness, identify what matters most to you, and develop practical strategies to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and intention.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying so much. My hope is to offer a space that’s just for you - a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself amid the demands of everyday life. If this feels like the right fit, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

I tailor therapy to each individual while drawing primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we'll build self-awareness, learn new ways of responding to life's challenges, and make intentional choices that reflect what's most important to you. I also view each person's experiences within the context of their family, culture, and the larger systems that have shaped them.
