New to Grow
I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself. My approach is genuine and collaborative, blending empathy, authenticity, and even a little humor when it helps. Healing happens in relationship, and many women value support from another woman who understands the pressure and complexity of the roles we carry. As a mom and therapist, I’ve walked similar paths. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.
Starting virtual therapy can bring up all kinds of feelings, like excitement, curiosity, and maybe even a little nervousness. That’s completely normal. Talking about yourself with someone new can feel strange at first, and it takes time to build trust. My role is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and safe to share at your own pace. Here’s what the process looks like: First session: Our first full session is a chance to get to know each other more deeply. We’ll go over any questions you have about the paperwork, talk in detail about what you’ve been experiencing, and clarify your goals for therapy. Ongoing work: In the sessions that follow, we’ll focus on those goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll bring my expertise, but you bring your lived experience. Together, we’ll work to ease your distress, strengthen your coping strategies, and help you move toward the life you want to be living.
My approach is genuine and collaborative, blending empathy, authenticity, and even a little humor when it helps. I’m especially passionate about working with women, and I chose to specialize in perinatal mental health after my own path to motherhood turned out to be far more complicated than I expected. That experience deepened my empathy and reinforced my belief that no one should have to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. My goal is to offer you a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can share your story and feel supported as you move toward healing and growth.
The women I work with often come to me during times of transition, whether it’s navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood, facing the heartbreak of infertility or loss, working through the weight of anxiety or depression, or carrying the pain of trauma and grief. Sometimes it’s simply the exhaustion of trying to hold everything together. Whatever your story looks like, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients build a healthier relationship with their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Rather than struggling against pain or difficult feelings, ACT focuses on learning how to make space for them while still moving toward a meaningful, values-driven life.
Compassion Focused
Compassion Focused Therapy helps clients develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. Many people struggle with harsh self-cricism, shame, perfectionism or feeling stuck in survival mode. I help clients build self-compassion, emotional safety, and greater understanding of how their nervous system, past experiences, and inner dialogue impact their daily lives.
Trauma Informed Care
I provide trauma-informed care by creating a therapy space that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, trust and compassion. I understand how trauma can affect the nervous system, relationships, emotions, and daily functioning, and I work at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. My approach focuses on helping clients feel empowered, understood, and more connected to themselves as they heal.
Mind-body approach
I believe mental and emotional health are deeply connected to the body and nervous system. I integrate mind-body techniques to help clients increase self-awareness, reduce overwhelm, and feel more grounded, present, and connected in their daily lives.
Strength-Based
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize resilience, insight, and capabilities that may be overlooked during difficult seasons of life. Therapy is not just about identifying problems, it is also about building on existing strengths, values, and internal resources to support healing and growth.
