My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in compassion and a person-centered approach, which forms the cornerstone of my practice. I meet clients where they are in their journey, fostering a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. Utilizing HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms, I provide convenient and confidential services exclusively through remote sessions. A lifelong learner myself, I am committed to continuous professional development, recognizing the importance of self-improvement, just as my clients endeavor to enhance their lives. My areas of focus include self-esteem, life-transitions, depression, grief, & anxiety.

My approach to counseling is personalized and collaborative, and is based in Relational-Cultural Theory which takes into account the effects of abuse, discrimination and marginalization on mental health. I believe that all humans have the tendency to grow, heal, and develop their full potential. I work to gain an accurate, accepting, understanding of each client’s reality so that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment to explore his or her thoughts and feelings about difficult life issues, with the goal of resolving issues, gaining self-acceptance and building relationships.

Are you feeling challenged by motherhood? As a therapist who specializes in maternal mental health, I help you process and cope with the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that surfaces during the parenting years. Relationship concerns, career transitions, exceptional children, even coping with loneliness are all common counseling topics. With very little time to process complex feelings, these issues can lead to anxiety, ambivalence, anger, even grief. I give women the space to explore their very real feelings, while fostering confidence in, and compassion for, themselves through this intense season of life.
