You’re a working mom who looks capable on the outside—but inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid of repeating the patterns you grew up with. Maybe your parents were emotionally immature, unpredictable, or unavailable. Now you’re raising small children while juggling a career, and you want to break generational cycles. You want to feel calm, present, and confident as a mother—not reactive, guilty, or stretched thin. You’re not just seeking coping skills. You want healing.

I am a therapist who provides a steady, supportive space for clients to understand themselves, heal old patterns, and move forward with clarity. My work is shaped by a deep respect for each person’s history and the ways early experiences continue to influence present‑day relationships, self‑esteem, and decision‑making. I help clients explore those roots with compassion and curiosity, not judgment. I bring a warm, grounded presence to therapy. Clients often come to me because they are high‑functioning but carrying a great deal internally.

I have extensive experience providing children, adolescents, family, and marriage therapy services.
In my 20 years of practice, one statement has guided the core of my therapeutic relationships: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" (Maya Angelou). As a direct, supportive, practical therapist, I seek to help you shift from "just surviving" to "actively thriving" in your life. Use of sound, evidenced-based theory coupled with unconditional positive regard helps you to achieve balance in your life, becoming empowered to be the writer in your life story. You have value no matter what obstacles you may have faced.

Choosing to begin therapy is a deeply personal decision, and I want to honor the courage it takes to take that first step. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about exploring more of who you are, my goal is to offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and as you truly are. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative journey—one where you are the expert on your own experience, and I am here to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and the tools to help guide the process. Some days may feel heavy, others lighter; both are welcome.

My ideal client is someone who has been carrying weight they can no longer hold alone — unprocessed trauma, anxiety, depression, or a growing sense that something needs to change. Many of my clients are BIPOC individuals who want a therapist who understands that their mental health doesn't exist separately from their identity or history. They want to break cycles, understand themselves more deeply, and build a life that feels like theirs. They may feel stuck, but somewhere underneath, there's a readiness. That's enough.

I work with children who are still learning to express their emotions in healthier ways, teens who are trying to find themselves, adults who are carrying stress from their past, worry about the future, or overwhelm about the present.
You may have found your way to my page because your child is struggling with something larger than the tools they currently have. Maybe you're looking to boost your own parenting skills because your child is going through a rough patch. Perhaps you’re searching for support in adjusting to a big life change, or maybe you wish to build healthier relationships. I have extensive experience walking alongside people, ages 3-50, working through overwhelming feelings of sadness, worry, anger, apathy, grief, and traumatic events.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
