As a mom myself, I understand how imperative it is to have emotional support throughout the journey of motherhood, from adoption or pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. I remember the early days of bonding with my children, while also feeling overwhelmed with loneliness and guilt about making the right decisions as a parent. With appropriate support, I was able to create a space to be present with my children, while also taking care of myself to find peace, clarity and purpose. Regardless of the age of our children, we never stop being a mother. My personal journey and professional education have led me to my work with mothers and their families. I am passionate about helping mothers to reach their full potential and learn to trust their own voice and decisions. I am also an active member of Postpartum Support International and have received a certificate in Maternal Mental Health. My couples therapy training in The Gottman Method is beneficial in helping partners find new ways of connection and intimacy throughout this transition. You don’t have to go through this alone, I am here to help you achieve emotional health and wellness and to lead with confidence in this experience of parenthood.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I believe people are resilient and can heal. I help people move past challenging times. My specialty is trauma and I am trained in 𝙀𝙈𝘿𝙍 (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I often see clients with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, postpartum depression, and athletes. In time, the goal of therapy is for you to no longer need therapy. That means that you will have achieved your goals and are being the ideal version of yourself.
