I work best with individuals and families navigating major life transitions—whether it's adjusting to a new health diagnosis, managing the emotional impact of caregiving, or facing the complex ups and downs of parenting.
As a social worker for twenty years, I have seen both the incredible hardships that people face as well as human resilience and adaptability. I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and accepted—just as we are. In therapy sessions, I use humor, warmth, and genuine respect to create a safe and supportive space for that purpose.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, parents, and families to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and learn healthier ways to cope with stress and conflict.
We will work together to create a supportive environment where you and your teen can face challenges and step out of your comfort zone. Using evidence-based approaches like mindfulness, CBT, and ACT, we'll work on having a better self-understand, coping with your emotions more confidently, and reaching your goals.

Many new parents struggle with intrusive thoughts, grief over how life has changed, challenges with bonding, or tension around roles and expectations.
Motherhood shifts the ground beneath you — your identity, your relationships, and your sense of self. The sleepless nights, the constant decision-making, the invisible mental load of anticipating everyone's needs before your own. The pressure to show up fully at work, be truly present at home, and somehow still feel like yourself in the middle of all of it. It adds up quietly until one day you realize you're anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from the person you used to be — left asking yourself, Why is this so hard for me? You're not broken. You're not failing. You're overloaded — and you don't have to keep carrying this alone.

You may be used to holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Maybe you are navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, major life changes, or the pressure of always needing to be “fine.” Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and start feeling more grounded and in control.

I know how challenging taking the first step toward getting help and support can be. It is difficult to find a therapist that feels like the right fit, to feel heard and well supported in those initial sessions. As your therapist, I will do my best to facilitate an authentic connection, where you feel seen, heard and compassionately understood. Holding space as you navigate your internal world and the way external influences (past trauma, families of origin etc) impact it will be one of my most important roles.

My passion in counseling is to help clients heal from past trauma, while facilitating the rewiring of their nervous systems. I focus on supporting their journey toward feeling open to connection and personal growth again. It would be my honor to work with you and help you find the path that's going to make peace with the past, and write a new story moving forward. A story where you can be your own beacon of safety for yourself as well as others. Healing from past traumatic experiences is possible, I've seen it for myself, and I fully believe it's possible for you as well.

I have years of experience treating trauma, parenting, sexual issues (desire, dysfunction, etc), and faith crisis or expansion (including mixed faith marriage).
You're responsible (maybe too responsible!) and looking for relief and balance. Self-help books and tips only take you so far, and somehow you keep running into the same unhealthy patterns. You want to thrive, not just survive! I specialize in helping competent but exhausted people find greater peace through getting to the deeper, often hidden roots, of why you still feel stuck.
I love using mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and experiential/trauma-informed approaches like IFS (parts work) and EMDR to help individuals move past outdated coping mechanisms. For couples, EFT and attachment work increase connection and love.
