I work great with...
Going through a divorce? Let’s sort through the messy feelings and help you rebuild with confidence.
Parenting a kid who’s finding their way? I’ll help you support their growth without losing yourself in the process.
Feeling stuck between career goals and mom life? We can tackle the guilt, pressure, and chaos to help you find balance.
New mom and feeling all the feels? Let’s talk about the big shifts and how to take care of you too.
Tired of the “shoulds” society puts on women? We’ll unpack those expectations and help you create a life that actually fits you.
Style & Approach
Clients say that I'm "warm, kind, and straightforward". I believe in being honest with kindness and kind with honesty. You’re the expert on your own life—I’m just here to help you figure out where things feel stuck, overwhelming, or out of balance.
I ask a lot of questions (don’t worry, in a good way!) to really understand your story. Together, we’ll start putting the puzzle pieces in place so you can make sense of what’s going on and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Some of the approaches I Use...
Attachment Theory
Collaborative
Self-Compassion
Unconditional Positive Regard
Somatic Experiencing
Emotional Literacy
Thought Exploration and Strategies
Feminist Approach
Mindfulness
