You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.
I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.
I specialize in:
- Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
- High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients discover the "TRUE" and more " CONTENT" person within. The primary goal is to work together to develop creative ways or alternatives to help you to live a healthier lifestyle. Here to help guide through that journey to become the best you.
Do you feel like your anxiety or depression takes over at the worst possible moments? Are you finding it difficult to feel growth in managing trauma responses? Are you seeking a safe and brave space for therapy that utilizes somatic movements and exploration of intersectional identity affiliations and alliances?
I help individuals gain self-awareness and management of anxiety and depression. I offer aid unpacking trauma with options in exploring mindful movement and feeling present in the body. I assist exploration of intersectional identity (i.e., which is open to race, religion, spirituality, LGBTQIA+, and other identity affiliations/alliances).
