Hi, I’m a therapist who helps women navigate grief, trauma, and life changes with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for healing. Whether you’re adjusting to a new chapter, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling overwhelmed by stress, I provide a safe and supportive space to reconnect with your strength and values. I use evidence-based approaches like ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help you move forward with purpose — even when life feels heavy.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where we begin by getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions about your current challenges, your background, and what goals or hopes you have for our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My priority is to make you feel heard, respected, and understood. I’ll also explain how I work, answer any questions you have about the process, and we’ll begin identifying small, meaningful steps toward the changes you want to see. Most of all, I want you to leave the first session feeling a sense of relief and clarity about the path ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and supported in our work together. I bring a direct, yet compassionate approach to therapy — balancing honesty with warmth so we can get to the heart of what you’re facing without judgment. I focus on practical, evidence-based strategies that help you move forward, even when life feels overwhelming. Whether we’re working through grief, trauma, or major life transitions, I help you reconnect with your values, tap into your resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing and clarity.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support YOU navigating life transitions, grief, trauma, and identity shifts. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — often balancing caregiving roles, health changes, or the demands of service life. They’re looking for relief, but also for purpose, clarity, and a deeper sense of self. Whether you’re coping with loss, postpartum adjustment, chronic stress, or a major life change, I help you build on your strengths and move toward healing with intention and resilience. My ideal clients are ready to explore what matters most and take meaningful steps forward, even when life feels uncertain.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) regularly in my telehealth practice, particularly when working with women navigating grief, trauma, health concerns, and significant life transitions such as postpartum recovery, caregiving, or adjusting to changes in identity and relationships. ACT offers a compassionate, values-based framework that helps individuals move forward even while holding space for emotional pain. Through ACT, I support clients in learning how to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings — not by avoiding or suppressing them, but by making room for them while focusing on what truly matters. This is especially powerful in telehealth, where clients are often balancing therapy with the demands of home, family, and work. ACT allows us to work flexibly, using real-life examples and mindfulness-based strategies that clients can immediately apply in their daily routines. In grief work, I guide clients through the natural emotional pain of loss while helping them reconnect with purpose and meaningful action. In trauma and women’s health, ACT creates space for validating difficult emotions while reinforcing a sense of choice and empowerment. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, identity shifts, chronic stress, or caring for others while feeling overwhelmed, ACT helps us center what gives life meaning and build sustainable paths forward. ACT’s focus on psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, open, and engaged — is especially useful in the face of uncertainty and change. I draw on metaphors, experiential exercises, and practical tools that fit each client’s lived reality, and I maintain a compassionate, collaborative tone in every session. I also continue to pursue training and consultation in ACT to ensure my approach is both grounded and responsive.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy – My Experience and Approach Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a core part of my clinical approach, especially in supporting women coping with grief, trauma, health challenges, and major life transitions. I use mindfulness not only as a therapeutic tool but as a guiding principle in how I create space for healing — with presence, non-judgment, and acceptance. In my telehealth practice, I integrate mindfulness practices to help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. For many clients — especially those managing caregiving roles, postpartum recovery, anxiety, or chronic stress — mindfulness offers a practical way to stay grounded amid overwhelm. Rather than pushing distress away or becoming consumed by it, mindfulness supports clients in observing their experiences with compassion and clarity. I draw from evidence-based mindfulness approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and incorporate breathing exercises, body scans, present-moment awareness, and guided visualizations. These tools help clients regulate their nervous systems, improve emotional resilience, and reconnect with their inner resources. I often pair mindfulness work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which strengthens clients’ ability to be present with discomfort while acting in line with their values. Over time, clients often report feeling more centered, more emotionally balanced, and better equipped to navigate ongoing life challenges without being overwhelmed by them. I also provide ongoing education and adaptation of mindfulness techniques to fit each person’s unique needs and lifestyle, ensuring these practices are realistic, accessible, and sustainable.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in my work with clients who are navigating grief, trauma, health changes, and life transitions. This approach is especially effective in telehealth, where clients often need focused, practical support that fits within busy and demanding lives. SFBT helps clients shift from problem-saturated thinking to identifying strengths, successes, and tangible next steps — even in the midst of emotional pain or uncertainty. In my practice, I use solution-focused techniques to highlight what is already working, however small, and to help clients envision a future that feels manageable and hopeful. This might include asking powerful, forward-looking questions like “What would be different if things got a little better?” or “When was a time you handled something like this well?” These questions help uncover the client’s own resilience, resources, and goals. I’ve found SFBT particularly helpful for women adjusting to new roles — such as postpartum changes, caregiving responsibilities, or health-related identity shifts — because it emphasizes progress over perfection. Clients often come in feeling overwhelmed, and SFBT allows us to co-create small, meaningful goals that build momentum and confidence without invalidating their pain. I integrate SFBT alongside mindfulness and ACT, ensuring that clients not only move toward solutions but also remain grounded and emotionally supported. The brief and goal-oriented nature of SFBT makes it an empowering and efficient tool within a broader, compassionate therapeutic relationship.
