My communication style

I genuinely care about your empowerment, well-being, and journey towards change. Your feelings may seem complex or challenging, but they're valid. Reaching out for therapy is a significant step. I want you to feel safe and supported. My unbiased perspective offers a safe space for your story, struggles, and experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe everyone has a unique story and needs a place to talk openly without judgment. My journey was shaped by work with children and families in teaching, developmental therapy, and infant mental health consulting. As a mother in both traditional and non-traditional relationships, I bring empathy and empowerment to my practice.

My goals for you

I will guide your goals and progress with compassionate accountability that matches your needs. My goal is to challenge and support you every step of the way.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to understand your story, relationships, and current challenges. Together we'll begin building a collaborative plan that feels right for you. My priority is creating a space where you feel heard and comfortable.
