Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting women through ADHD, motherhood, anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout. My own lived experiences, along with my background as an OB medical social worker, shaped the way I show up as a therapist today.

I know what it's like to look like you have it all together while quietly feeling overwhelmed. My goal is to help you feel understood, stop blaming yourself, and build a life that works with your brain instead of against it.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and grounded in real life. I draw from various therapeutic approaches to help you better understand yourself, not judge yourself.

I'll ask thoughtful questions, offer practical tools, and gently challenge the patterns keeping you stuck. We might laugh, we might cry, and we'll always move at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what's been feeling heavy lately, and what you'd like life to feel like instead.

You don't have to have the "right" words or your whole story figured out. My hope is that you leave feeling a little lighter, a little more understood, and with a clear sense of where we'll go together.
