Everyone needs a tender place to land; a place to have our stories heard with kindness and where we can unburden all that we carry alone. This is especially important for moms who carry so much for others. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to tend to yourself and your emotional wellbeing when so much is expected of you, especially if you’re carrying old wounds that are resurfacing.

In today’s world, being a mom comes with countless hurdles, fears, and losses; all made harder by the impossible standards of modern-day parenting, isolation, and lack of support many of us experience. Whether you’re trying to conceive, a new mom adjusting to the pressure of raising an infant, or a seasoned mom juggling the needs of your growing family, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed and alone.

I aim to offer a warm space that is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-affirming. I will walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity about your unique story. My hope is that you will leave therapy feeling understood, lighter and more like yourself again. We can also explore tools to develop self compassion and nervous system regulation as needed.

If something in my profile resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out. Although I mostly work with moms, I also support women in general. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss how I can support you through the challenges you’re facing. I look forward to hearing your story and getting to know you!
