Great to meet you!

It is of my highest priority to meet the mental health needs of mothers and children. Many mothers are silent sufferers. I aim to provide a space for them to feel understood, cared for, and supported. I'm not only a therapist with 5 years of experience working with young children from 5 to 10 but I am also a mother to 3 children. I use both professional and personal experiences to provide a judgement free treatment.

My approach to therapy

The treatment I provide, is done by exploring morals, values, self-worth, and priorities. While incorporating trauma informed interventions and evidence-based treatment to give individuals relief from their anxieties, worries, and sadness.

What you can expect from me

I will lean in to understand what current problems you may be having. How your mental health is impacting your life. What attainable goals you would like to accomplish in therapy and what type of therapy best fits your needs.
