Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming, even when everything looks fine on the outside. Whether you're navigating stress at work, the demands of parenthood, or feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I help professionals, parents, and high-achieving individuals overcome anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, burnout, and low self-esteem. Together, we'll address what's happening now while uncovering the deeper patterns that keep you stuck. I also specialize in perinatal mental health, supporting clients through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. As an EMDR Certified therapist, I provide compassionate, practical care that helps you feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.

My approach to therapy

My approach is down-to-earth, authentic, and focused on the whole person and their well-being. I don’t believe in one size fits all therapy approaches. I support clients in finding long-term solutions so that they can live their lives to the fullest, enjoy their relationships, and finally feel good about themselves.

What you can expect from me

  1. In our sessions together, we will explore what you have tried in the past and why it may have not worked for you so that we can find tools that truly work. We can get to the bottom of things and find long-term solutions. When you don’t know where to even start, I am here to help you find your own, individual way. You will walk away with hands on tools to calm your nervous system, understand your racing mind, and learn how to unplug from the looping thoughts.
