The anxiety that won't let you rest. The grief that keeps showing up uninvited. The ache of infertility or a pregnancy loss that nobody around you quite knows how to talk about. If any of that sounds like you, you don't have to carry it by yourself. I've spent 13 years supporting children, teens, and adults through exactly this kind of hard, and I want the same thing for you that I want for everyone I sit with, space to be heard, supported, and actually seen, without a hint of judgment.

I work collaboratively and meet you where you are, using CBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, but which tools we use depends on you and what's actually going to help. My job is to help you build coping skills and resilience to move through what's in front of you, not around it.

Our first session is about getting to know each other, what brought you here and what you're hoping to get out of this. We'll move at your pace. There's no script you have to follow and nothing you need to explain perfectly, I just want you to leave feeling heard.
