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.

ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems each offer a different doorway into healing. ACT teaches you how to stop fighting your thoughts and instead build a life that reflects your values. Narrative Therapy helps you rewrite the old stories that made you feel small or stuck, and family systems helps you understand your inner world with compassion.
