I work with people who are tired of carrying everything alone: cycle breakers, parents, and women who’ve spent years being strong for everyone else. In our work together, you won’t be judged, pushed, or rushed. Instead, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring your experiences with curiosity, compassion, sense of partnership. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a deeply relational style. A little humor, a lot of support, no judgment.
I’m here to help you rewrite the stories that no longer serve you and reclaim your empowerment.
Virtual in IL, MO, FL & OH
I am certified in both perinatal mental health treatment and narrative trauma therapy techniques. Whether you’re healing from childhood wounds, navigating the complexities of motherhood, or simply seeking more balance, I am here to walk alongside you. My licensure allows me to see clients virtually in the states of IL, MO, CT & FL.
I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process past experiences, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, and build a life aligned with your values. Let's work together to turn your story of survival into your season of flourishing.
