New to Grow
Every woman deserves to feel powerful in her own life. We forget how strong, resilient, and deeply worthy we really are. You are already enough. And I’m here to help you see it, feel it, and reclaim it. Hey there! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor and have dedicated over 12 years to supporting and empowering women throughout their transitions (Life is always life-ing). My specialty is perinatal mental health (certified through postpartum support international), supporting women through their journey of pregnancy and beyond the "fourth trimester," and those who have experienced traumatic birth or loss. Individual therapy for perinatal mental health includes: Perinatal/postpartum depression Perinatal/postpartum anxiety Perinatal OCD Traumatic Birth Mother/infant attachment Parenting in recovery (substance use) Loss & grief I also support women in navigating: The fog of depression, anxiety, or stress that hinders the rediscovery of self or connection Burnout and stress due to unrealistic expectations Compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress as a therapist, healthcare work, or other helping profession Loss or grief of a person, pet, relationship, lifestyle, or yourself Life. Wanting to exit survival mode and start healing. Fresh endings and new beginnings. This is an inclusive, affirming space that celebrates all backgrounds, identities, and family structures.
The first session is geared toward learning more about you. We will explore your current stressors, what has been going on emotionally and physically, and a little about your history. Your treatment is tailored to you. Your needs. Your goals. The first session helps us to collaborate and discover where we want to start.
Therapy is work. We will be collaborative, action-oriented, and challenging all the brain lies or core beliefs that leave you feeling inadequate or not good enough. No passive therapy here.
This is likely a great fit if... ✔ You want to feel genuinely safe and unjudged from the very first session ✔ You're ready for real, meaningful change-not just to vent ✔ You want a therapist who is warm, real, and direct without being harsh ✔ You believe in your own capacity to heal, and you just need the right support to get there ✔ You want care that is rooted in both science and deep respect for who you are ✔ You're done pretending to be okay and ready to actually feel okay ✔ Your family looks exactly the way you built it and you want a therapist who celebrates that. Also, your pet is family and you want a therapist who gets that.

I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Ever catch your brain telling you "I'm a bad mom" after one challenging nap? Or you're feeling on edge and think "I must have messed something up"? And the most famous of all- "I'm not good enough." Lies. All brain lies. CBT is how we catch the continuous lies in the act. Your thoughts, feelings, and actions are all tangled together. A missed email in the AM has you on edge, questioning your abilities, forgetting to eat lunch (among other things), and has snowballed into "I'm going to be fired" by 2 PM. Mom-guilt spirals into "I should be handling this better," which wrecks your mood, which makes you skip the shower or the walk or the five minutes that were just for you, which feeds right back into feeling like you're failing. We put those exhausted, overstimulated thoughts on trial (the comparison spirals, the guilt, the one-bad-moment-means-I'm-failing thinking) and ask: is this actually true, or just your tired brain talking? Then we get practical: small, doable actions (even five minutes) that boost your mood and energy before motivation ever shows up. Because waiting to "feel up to it" is how we end up running on empty. Also, you deserve to feel like yourself again. No toxic positivity, no pretending you have it all together. Just real tools for the mid-meltdown moments (yours or theirs). And a little less believing every guilty thought just because it showed up loud. Side note: CBT's evidence base is broader and deeper than almost any other psychotherapy modality. It has been studied extensively across age groups, cultures, and severity levels, and is consistently recommended in clinical practice guidelines from major health authorities, including the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization. For both anxiety and depression, it is typically listed alongside or ahead of medication as a first-line treatment option.
Interpersonal
Your mood and your relationships move together. When one's off, the other usually is too. IPT zeroes in on what's happening right now: a rough breakup, tension with a partner, becoming a parent, grief, a friendship that's shifted. We work through it with real strategies (better communication, boundaries, processing the hard stuff). Pair it with CBT and you're covering both sides: IPT handles what's happening between you and others, CBT handles what's happening in your head- Assuming-the-worst, the shutting-down, the "I'm such a burden" thoughts that show up mid-conflict. Not just feeling better in the moment, but actual skills that stick.
Attachment-based
That moment when you're holding your baby and feel... meh? Or you're going through the motions but something feels off, like you're not as "bonded" as you thought you would be? You're definitely not the only one, and this happens more than anyone talks about. Attachment-based therapy is all about rebuilding that connection, one small moment at a time. We look at what's getting in the way, like exhaustion, anxiety, your own childhood patterns showing up, postpartum mood stuff , etc., and gently work through it without judgment. No pressure to "feel the magic" overnight. We focus on tiny, doable ways to reconnect: eye contact during a feed, narrating what you're doing, noticing your baby's cues without the pressure of getting it perfect. Connection isn't a switch that flips. It's built in repetition and it can absolutely grow even if it didn't feel instant.
