Are you feeling overwhelmed and burned out? Having a hard time managing all your responsibilities? Sometimes you can give so much to others that you lose space for yourself. You may also feel like the tools that used to help you manage everything just aren’t cutting it anymore. There are a number of stressors that can contribute to these feelings of overwhelm: parenting, relationship issues, past trauma, to name a few. Therapy can be a safe space for you to sort through outside pressure and expectations and help you find new tools to enhance your coping so you can get back to feeling like yourself.

Waitlist for new clients
Echoes of your earliest traumas grow stronger as grief makes it difficult to breathe. You’ll be trapped here forever; you’re sure of it. Trapped in a cycle of pain that seems impossible to break, as if on an empty rollercoaster that never stops. You’ve endured one loss after the other… after the other. Now, you’re back in the loop again, repeating unhealthy patterns that have never worked and never will. You can see there’s a ride less draining, and more thrilling, and it’s right in front of you but just out of reach. So, you continue to stay put, alone, both anxious and defeated, going round and round again.

I began my career as a school psychologist supporting the emotional and behavioral needs of children and families, many with trauma histories. In 2023, I expanded my practice by obtaining my Perinatal Mental Health Certification, with the goal of helping soon-to-be and new mothers navigate the perinatal period. Matrescence, the transformative process of becoming a mother, can be a time of great beauty and self-discovery, but it also often brings with it deep pain and difficulty. It is a time of intense psychological, physical, and emotional change and many experience shifts in their relationships and self-identity.

My primary goal as a therapist is to assist you in achieving your goals and support you through any adversities that may come your way. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” approach—each client is unique and has different techniques that work and do not work to achieve their goals. I am passionate and dedicated to the mental health field, and I believe each client is more than their symptoms and should be treated with dignity and respect. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and received my MSW from the University of Michigan, where I specialized in the area of Interpersonal Practice with a concentration in Mental Health.
