Life has a way of throwing curveballs, sometimes exciting, sometimes overwhelming, and often both at the same time. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and accepted just as you are. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate change, tap into your strengths, and move toward what matters most to you.

I work with adults, teens, and couples, with a special focus on supporting people through life transitions, especially women navigating the highs and lows of motherhood. As a parent to a toddler myself, I understand how much care, patience, and grace this season of life can require. Whether you’re adjusting to a major change, healing your relationship with food or your body, or simply looking for more stability in your day-to-day life, I’m here to help.

About Me

Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, painting, or chasing my toddler around with a cup of coffee in hand. I love pasta, anything chocolate, and the kind of reality TV that makes you laugh and shake your head at the same time. I gravitate toward suspense/thriller books, the color green, and cats. My love language is quality time, which shows up in how I connect with clients, too. And if you ever need a reality TV recommendation or a new pasta recipe, I’ve got you covered.
