The concept of "getting your pink back" has started to take over how parents regain their identity after having children. The phrase was developed after learning that flamingos lose their vibrant pink colors after giving birth, and as their children become more independent, they regain their vibrant pink. This metaphor is a great way to start creating your map to identity in motherhood. Unfortunately, it's not as easy for humans as eating enough shrimp again, although meeting diet and other fundamental needs is a great place to start! I am passionate about helping Mom's find their pink in motherhood and grow with their family.

Life can be challenging and difficult to navigate, especially without support. During the therapeutic process, I look at how our environment, life experience, and current relationships have an impact on the decisions we make. I work with adults and young adults individually and in couples from all walks of life and belief systems who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, personality disorders, adjustment issues, anger management, relationship issues, and more by using evidenced-based approaches and interventions/techniques.

I specialize in eating disorders, grief, chronic illness, relationship and attachment issues, life transitions, parenting challenges, work or school struggles, perfectionism, ADHD, and anxiety.

With 8 years of experience in the mental health profession, I specialize in behavior change, both individually and within a relationship. My approach combines both Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Both MI and CBT are highly effective in promoting positive change. MI focuses on resolving ambivalence and increasing intrinsic motivation for change, while CBT works to restructure negative thoughts and behaviors.

And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this. -Esther 4:14 We are created to be in community and we were created at this time and in this place for a reason. While there are times when relationships need to end, many times we are just caught up in bad patterns that we have the power to change. When we change our communication patterns, learn to create and hold to boundaries, and learn to regulate our nervous systems we are more available to one another.
