Great to meet you!

Great day!

I bring both clinical experience and real life understanding into this work. I have been a licensed psychologist for over 14 years and have spent more than 20 years mentoring students, professionals, and high-achieving women across different seasons of life. I am also a wife, a mom of two, and a bonus mom, so I understand firsthand what it means to balance ambition, responsibility, and family. Throughout my personal and professional career, including community work with working women and early career professionals, I have supported women who are capable, responsible, and used to carrying a lot. I respect your ambition and your desire to grow, and I also understand the pressure that can come with it.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, structured, and forward-moving. We begin by identifying the season of life you are in and what feels out of alignment. From there, we explore the thought patterns, expectations, and pressures that may be shaping your decisions. Together, we clarify what matters most and build practical steps that help you move forward with confidence. Therapy is not about adding more to your plate. It is about helping you feel grounded and aligned in the roles you already carry.


Please note, once you schedule your consultation, my office will send you a link for a video consult versus phone.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, you can expect a warm and honest conversation. We will talk about what brought you in, what feels overwhelming or unclear, and what you would like to feel different. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive. Together, we will begin identifying the season you are in and the direction you want to move toward. You should leave the first session feeling heard, clearer, and confident that you are not navigating this alone.
