“The challenging birth of my twins, marked by 23 hours of labor and subsequent colic issues that required expensive specialized formula, inspired my career as a DONA-certified postpartum doula and perinatal therapist. Through supporting mothers with breastfeeding, baby schedules, and sleep training, I encountered numerous cases of postpartum depression, prompting me to specialize in helping mothers through various perinatal challenges, including depression, anxiety, high-risk pregnancies, and traumatic births. Helping mothers extended out into all stages of children fostering positive emotional attachments from birth into adulthood
In 2010, I uncovered my husband’s sex addiction. As a stay-at-home mom, I carefully planned my divorce, hired a PI to locate all assets, money, and hired the right attorney. After my divorce, I endured eight years of financial and emotional abuse from endless court dates which lead me to assist mothers in coping with narcissistic and pathological partners.
I specialize in helping couples with communication issues, childhood trauma, intimacy/sex problems, blended families, individuals with ADHD, career counseling; aligning one's career with their desired lifestyle, and family and generational trauma incorporating family dynamics into my therapeutic approach to facilitate meaningful change.

I take requests if there is a type of therapy you are interested in but will refer out if I am not specialized in it. I use emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, somatic therapy and solution focused therapy mostly in my practice. I look at each person and couple or family from where they are at and help them according to their life instead of one size fits all approach.
