I work with adolescents and adults, employing a cognitively based, brief therapy approach in a supportive and compassionate environment. I believe that we all possess inner strengths and untapped potential. While we cannot change the circumstances of the past, we can develop new perspectives and learn to accept them without regret. Together, we can learn to find comfort in what was once uncomfortable. We will then collaborate to build new techniques that enable you to grow resilient, find strength, and lead a life worth celebrating.

I am committed to creating a safe, empowering, and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

When life starts to feel overwhelming- managing work, home life, parenting demands, financial stress or simply trying to stay afloat, It is hard to know where to start. I provide a space where you can breathe, find solutions and feel supported. I will help you explore what’s fueling your stress and create a plan for positive change to move forward. I support parents navigating the unique stresses of raising children, offering guidance and practical strategies to address concerns about your child’s wellbeing and manage behavioral challenges with confidence.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in perinatal and maternal mental health, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the many emotional changes that come with becoming a parent. I work with women experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, pregnancy-related stress, maternal burnout, overwhelm, self-esteem concerns, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood while developing practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself again.

I also work with children and adolescents and bring more than seven years of experience as a school counselor into my therapy practice. I support younger clients navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, academic stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, social challenges, and other social-emotional concerns. My background in schools allows me to understand the many factors that can affect a child or teen both at home and in the classroom.

Whether you’re struggling to adjust to motherhood, feeling unlike yourself during pregnancy or postpartum, navigating anxiety or burnout, or looking for support for your child or teen, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater understanding, healthier coping skills, and meaningful change in a space where you can feel safe, supported, and heard.
