Therapist

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the emotional weight of motherhood, struggling in your relationships, or finding it difficult to navigate a major life transition? Perhaps you're constantly putting everyone else's needs first and have lost sight of yourself in the process. You may feel stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.

I specialize in helping adults, parents, and families navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, maternal mental health concerns, grief and loss, identity issues, and life transitions. As both a therapist and a mother of teenagers, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with family life and the many roles we hold. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes that align with the life you want to create.
