I have 7 years of experience working with children and families in school-based settings, along with several years walking alongside adults through some of life's most tender and turbulent moments. I work with those navigating anxiety, the identity shifts that come with parenthood, the uncertainty of early adulthood, and the quiet exhaustion of stress that just keeps building. My approach is gentle and collaborative. We'll move at your pace, untangle what feels overwhelming, and slowly build a steadier, more grounded version of your everyday life — one where your relationships feel more manageable and your sense of self feels more secure.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

There's no pressure to have the right words or share everything at once. This is a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where I get to understand what's brought you in and what's been weighing on you — whether that's anxiety, a big life change, or just a general sense of feeling overwhelmed. We'll talk about what your day-to-day life looks like, what's feeling hard, and what you're hoping to feel differently about. I may ask some general questions about your background, your relationships, and what support has looked like for you in the past. By the end of our first session, my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, a little lighter, and with a clearer sense of what our work together might look like. We'll begin to shape a path forward that feels right for you — gentle, intentional, and at your own pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Grounded in years of work with children, families, and adults, I understand how deeply our relationships, our roles, and our sense of self are connected. When one shifts, everything feels it. My approach gently addresses those connections — helping you not just manage what's hard, but understand it, so lasting change becomes possible.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are open, willing to show up, and ready for something to feel different. This may be you if: You're a new or expecting mother feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you've lost yourself in the transition You're experiencing postpartum anxiety or struggling to adjust to your new identity as a parent You're a child or teen navigating big emotions, anxiety, or life changes You're a parent looking for support through a difficult season You're a young adult stepping into the real world and feeling the pressure of it You're managing anxiety or stress that just won't let up You're simply carrying too much and ready to set some of it down
