You don’t have to keep holding everything together on your own. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or just not like yourself lately—you’re not alone. I work with teachers, moms, and kids who are carrying a lot and need a space to finally exhale. As a therapist, my style is warm, real, and down-to-earth. I create a space where you can talk openly without feeling judged or “clinical.” Whether you're navigating stress from the classroom, the demands of parenting, or just trying to get through the day. "I provide virtual therapy sessions to clients in NY,GA, AL,CA. Those locations are not physical office locations. "
I use CBT, interpersonal therapy, and play therapy to help adults and children manage anxiety, improve relationships, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we build practical skills, emotional awareness, and lasting change in a supportive, down-to-earth space.
If you're a teacher feeling burned out, a mom overwhelmed, or worried about your child, you're not alone. I use CBT, interpersonal therapy, and play therapy to help you find steadiness and support. When you're ready, I invite you to reach out.
