Hi there. If you are seeking support for grief/bereavement, depression, anxiety, or trauma, are suffering from relationship difficulties, are adjusting to motherhood or other significant changes, or if you simply feel like you need somewhere to unpack your burdens you have carried - let's chat. I accept you openly, all the shadows of yourself you try to hide away. Therapy is beautiful because it allows those parts of ourselves an opportunity to be seen but without judgment. And this in turn helps you to feel recharged again, while working toward healing and planning for the next steps.
I aim to foster a nurturing, trusting, impartial connection as the foundation of our work together. Sometimes you may need to vent, other times it may be you want to write or dive into skills-building. I bring an eclectic approach to my work. If you need to figure out the "why" to the things which trouble you, I am here.
Connecting with a therapist when you are having a hard time already can be tiring. Exhausting, even. But be proud you are taking this first step in getting help - it is the hardest step of them all. Trust that you already have the answers deep within yourself, and know that in our work together, you will be okay. My goal is for you to be happy and fulfilled.

Groups
Millennials in Mourning (Virtual Only)
Navigating the loss of a parent is a profound challenge, especially for young adults facing life’s significant milestones without their guidance and presence. My one-of-a-kind support group is dedicated to young adults grieving the loss of a parent, including those with strained or absent relationships. Unlike other support groups for parent loss, I specifically address the unique challenges of reaching milestones such as weddings, graduations, and the birth of a first child without a parent’s presence. Join us on Google Meet to connect, share, and find support with others who understand your journey.
