Great to meet you!

Hi, there! My name is Summer, and I'm so glad you're here.

I have over 12 years of experience in a variety of settings, including universities, private practice, hospitals, and schools. I have specialized training in maternal mental health, ADHD, and parenting. I earned a Doctorate in Social Work from Tulane University and my Bachelor's in psychology and Master's in social work are both from Case Western Reserve University.

My approach to therapy

I'm a perfect fit for you if you've ever left a therapy session feeling disappointed because you were hoping for something more authentic. I show up in a very real way so that you can feel safe to do the same. I specialize in working with women and parents, and provide a safe space to explore stress, challenges in parenting, coping with ADHD as an adult (especially adult women), and other maternal mental health needs. I have special training and expertise in parenting multiples, coping with infertility, and processing how the experience of motherhood may be different from what you had expected.

I offer individual, relationship, and family therapy services, as well as parenting and coparenting coaching. My approach is person-centered and humanistic; I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I use a combination of techniques to support you in creating the life you want. I am LGBTQIA-allied, body positive, and sex positive.

I am a modern virtual therapist, which means that I value your mental health needs in the context of your life. I have been where you are and I know how overwhelming it can feel to find a therapist that's perfect for you. I believe that the right fit can be life-changing. The human in me is so excited to meet the human in you. I can't wait to get started!

What you can expect from me

You'll walk away from our sessions feeling connected, validated, and excited to implement skills and insights from our work together into your daily life.
