Although I am an intake and assessment therapist, my ideal client is a woman who is struggling with parenting alone and division of labor despite having a partner. I love working with moms and have a passion for bringing awareness to the married single mom syndrome. I believe women are more than their labor, and I'm on a mission to help women put themselves first.

Waitlist for new clients
Out of the Office until October, email to be added to my waitlist! Holding space for millennial women to let go of perfectionism, stop people-pleasing, and heal from the past. You feel stuck reliving the past and un-loveable despite "knowing" you are enough. You've done therapy before but found yourself feeling worse. Does this sound familiar? It's not all in your head. Trauma impacts our perspective and causes us to the see the present through the eyes of the past. This impacts everything from our relationships with friends, to sleep and our performance at work. However, healing is possible if we know how to go about healing it.

Making a change starts with admitting that the current way of doing things just isn’t working. Next is having the courage to ask for help. We can’t stop challenges from coming our way, but we can change how we choose to handle them. Leaving one’s comfort zone & accepting responsibility for one’s choices, thoughts & emotions can be difficult. This is where connecting with the right therapist is crucial. Key indicators for successful therapy outcomes include a strong bond with your therapist & committing to making a change. As a therapist, I create a safe, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment in which clients can thrive.
