You may be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work, parenting, and daily life. Or maybe you are overwhelmed with grief. You want practical tools to manage anxiety and stress, process prior trauma, feel confident in your roles at home and at work. You may also be seeking guidance as a parent—whether that’s navigating everyday challenges or learning how to best support a child who is struggling with their identity. Most of all, you want a safe, supportive space to sort through it all and begin moving toward a calmer, more grounded life.

I work with clients facing anxiety, grief, and the unique challenges of parenting. I also provide affirming therapy for parents of transgender and nonbinary children, helping families build trust, communication, and acceptance. I specialize in grief and developmental challenges life throws us along the way.

Take the next step toward feeling calmer and more balanced; please reach out today.
