Tired of reading bios? I would be too, so I'll keep it short: I graduated from UPenn 10+ years ago with a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in almost every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death. My "approach" is understanding that I can't expect you to expose the deepest, darkest, most vulnerable parts of yourself to me if I remain a complete stranger to you. In our sessions, I want you to feel like you're with one of your best friends who you can trust, laugh and ugly-cry with. My only goal is to make you feel like you're not alone. Like you have someone in your corner who will fight for you, laugh with you, curse with you, and ugly-cry with you (I'm totally kidding, kinda, that part's negotiable).

Welcome! I am pleased you are here. I have been in the mental health field for over 25 years. I have worked with clients of all ages, but specialize in working with adults, adolescents and elders.

I attempt to create a safe, supportive environment to identify strengths, explore challenges and foster growth.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and mindfulness-based coach with over a decade of experience in education and mental health, specializing in supporting moms navigating burnout, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts in motherhood, and grief. I also have clinical experience in end-of-life care, which has deeply shaped my approach to holding space for loss, transition, and the quieter forms of grief that often go unspoken. In my work, I support moms who look like they’re holding it together on the outside but feel stretched thin, reactive, and emotionally depleted on the inside. Many of my clients are moving through the grief that comes with motherhood itself—the loss of a former identity, unmet expectations, changes in relationships, or the realization that life feels heavier and more complex than they anticipated. Others are carrying more acute grief or life transitions that have shifted their sense of self and safety. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and CBT to help clients build emotional regulation skills, reduce reactivity, and create more space between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The work is practical and grounded—focused on what to do in the moments when emotions feel too big, and how to reconnect with values even in the middle of chaos. My style is conversational, down-to-earth, and direct, with a strong emphasis on progress over perfection. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without judgment and supported without pressure to “fix” everything at once. At the heart of my work is helping clients make room for both grief and growth—learning how to carry what’s heavy while still building a life that feels meaningful, intentional, and aligned with who they want to be.

With all of the challenges that life can throw at us, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or helpless. Life satisfaction and happiness might seem like distant goals with no clear path forward to reach them.
