Specialties
Postpartum anxiety and mood disorders- I have been working with pregnant and postpartum mothers for over 8 years. I am considered a perinatal mental health specialist and hold a PMHC through Postpartum Support International. As a mother of 4 young kids, I understand the demands of motherhood and the delicate dance that can take place between love and need for space and identity. Working with moms is my passion as I enjoy helping guide mothers through navigating the ups and downs of this new chapter.

Senior Citizens- I approach this population with a rich tapestry of empathy, understanding, and deep insight into the unique challenges and joys of aging. Whether it's navigating the complexities of retirement, coping with loss, managing chronic health conditions, or simply seeking fulfillment in their golden years, I provide a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. I help seniors uncover resilience, rediscover purpose, and cultivate meaningful connections, empowering them to embrace the fullness of their later lives with dignity and grace.
Anxiety Disorders- Anxiety disorders can decrease ones quality of life tremendously. Anxiety disorders can show up in many different ways. Do you find yourself always thinking about the worst case scenarios, or feeling like you cannot control your thoughts? Working with a therapist can help you process where this anxiety may be coming from. In addition, you can learn coping skills that may help decrease your anxiety.
College students and teens- I thoroughly enjoy working with this population and helping them navigate the challenges that come with transitioning from child to adult. There are so many unique pressures that this age face and having a safe place where they can vent/process/learn new skills, can increase their happiness and functioning.
LGTBQ populations- I have been working with the LGTBQ population for 5 years. I have a passion in supporting them during any part of their journey/transition and with any topics such as grief, life transitions, and personal growth.
How I can Help
I understand what its like to feel lost, full of worry, and wondering if you are capable of making it through another day.. But I also know the healing powers of being seen, validated, heard, and supported through your darkest and uncertain times. I believe that by sharing our most vulnerable feelings and thoughts while someone is there to look you in the eye and say, "It's okay, I'm here to listen to your pain", we begin to heal. I combine a warm, humorous, yet direct and straightforward approach. Life is beautiful and messy and you are not alone. Now is the time for your ascent.
