Great to meet you!

I I support women through the seasons of motherhood and the quiet, complicated transitions that come with it. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, caregiving stress, kids growing up, or the emotional weight of divorce and life changes, you deserve a space that feels steady, warm, and judgment‐free.

As a therapist trained in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, I help you slow your nervous system, understand your patterns, and build tools that bring relief and clarity. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that women carry so much—and shouldn’t have to carry it alone.

My approach to therapy

My Approach

I use evidence‐based tools from CBT, DBT, and family systems therapy to help you:

  • Improve communication with a difficult co‐parent
  • Support kids struggling with emotional regulation
  • Reduce anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and reactivity
  • Create predictable routines during custody transitions

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling empowered, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate their challenges. I create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment, where individuals, families, and couples feel safe exploring their emotions and relationships. My goal is to help clients gain clarity, resilience, and actionable strategies through structured discussions, evidence-based techniques, and meaningful self-reflection. By integrating CBT, DBT, ACT, and Gottman Principles, I guide clients toward lasting change, healthier communication, and deeper emotional awareness. Through therapy, they develop the confidence to overcome obstacles and build a more fulfilling, balanced life.
