Great to meet you!

Are you a woman who feels like you're constantly running on empty? You’re juggling everything—kids, partner, work, home—and still feeling like you’re falling short. The anxiety, the overwhelm, the snapping at your partner or children... it’s not who you want to be. But no matter how hard you try, you feel stuck in a cycle of burnout, guilt, and emotional exhaustion. You wonder how all the other moms are holding it together—because most days, you feel like you're failing.


I work best with women who are tired of carrying it all and feeling alone in it. You may be realizing that some of the stress and emotional patterns you're dealing with were passed down from your own upbringing, and you're trying your best not to pass that same pain on to your kids. But even with that awareness, the old patterns still sneak in.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, nurturing, and collaborative. I utilize trauma-focused and client-centered approaches while highlighting your strengths.

What you can expect from me

Clients will leave sessions feeling safe, understood and supported.
