Approach:

I use an integrative, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s unique story. Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, The Gottman Method, Attachment Theory, and Positive Psychology, I create a collaborative space to guide you toward healing. I also incorporate somatic and mindfulness practices to support body-mind awareness. My goal is to empower you to be the version of you that aligns the most with your values and desires. Because of my background in neuroscience and research, I also incorporate a lot of psychoeducation into my sessions.

It feels like somewhere along the way, you lost the thread of your own story.

You’ve carried cultural expectations, family roles, and silent pressures to be the strong one, the steady one, the one who holds it all together.

But inside, something’s been unraveling.

You feel caught between who you were taught to be and who you’re longing to become.

Saying no feels like guilt.

Slowing down feels like failure.

And when life didn’t follow the script—when things like parenthood didn’t come the way you imagined—you were left grieving in silence, questioning everything.

You don’t need to carry it all alone anymore.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and invisible rules that have shaped your path. We’ll honor what’s been lost and begin rewriting your story in a way that feels more like you—not the version others expected.

You get to reclaim your voice.

You get to choose what healing looks like.

You get to decide what comes next.

Let’s walk that path—together.

Who I help:

I support those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from themselves, their families, or their goals. Many of my clients are navigating cultural and generational expectations, identity struggles, or burnout from being the “strong one” for everyone else.

How I help:

I help clients reframe old patterns, build healthier relationships with themselves and others, and move from burnout to balance. Together, we explore the roots of your struggles and craft a path forward grounded in insight, intention, and self-compassion.

What my clients say about working with me:

“You help me see things differently.”
“She helped me realize I don’t have to carry everything alone.”
“I feel seen without judgment—finally.”

Off the Clock:

You can find me adventuring through local parks with my energetic little one, meditating, or trying out new restaurants with my husband and friends. 

Fun Fact:

I’m an avid board gamer and Trekkie.
