There might be a feeling of struggle or suffering that causes discomfort, distress, or even just a general feeling of trying to survive by, "going through the motions." Expectations, the invisible mental load, and challenges with boundaries can make the cycle feel never ending. Some questions to ask are: "What is this feeling trying to tell me? Where is the tension coming from?" My approach to therapy is collaborative and empowering, providing the much needed space and time to explore patterns and process experiences that have caused you to feel stuck or trapped.

I have experience in trauma-focused care, alcohol use, maternal mental health, postpartum depression, labor and delivery trauma, infertility grief, relationships, couples, grief, and loss. Therapy Offered: ACT, ERP, Attachment-Based, EMDR, IFS, biofeedback, and Gottman Method for couples.

Every moment in life is an opportunity to take a step toward the life you are hopeful to live. I welcome you to reach out and connect with me to begin the journey of defining and practicing what makes you resilient.
