Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
One book that has influenced my approach to therapy is *On Becoming a Person* by Carl Rogers. Rogers focused on the importance of feeling truly heard, understood, and accepted. That really connects with how I view therapy. I do not see clients as problems to be fixed. I see them as people with stories, strengths, pain, and patterns that often make sense when we slow down and understand them. This book helped shape the way I value warmth, authenticity, and compassion in the therapy room. It also reminds me that real change often starts when people feel safe enough to be honest about what they are feeling and what they need.

Work HistoryMy work has centered on helping women feel less alone in the parts of life that can feel overwhelming, exhausting, or emotionally heavy. Over time, my clinical work, teaching, and continued training have helped me develop specialties in anxiety, burnout, boundaries, perinatal mental health, EMDR, and supporting adults who are navigating the impact of emotionally immature parents.
In my private practice, I work with women who are carrying a lot professionally, personally, emotionally, and mentally. Many of my clients are high-achieving women, overwhelmed moms, or adults who have spent years taking care of everyone else while struggling to feel grounded themselves. This work has deepened my understanding of people-pleasing, perfectionism, guilt, self-doubt, relationship stress, and the mental load that often comes with caregiving, parenting, and trying to hold it all together.
My background in perinatal mental health has also shaped the way I support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting transitions, and identity changes. I understand that motherhood and caregiving can bring both love and grief, joy and anxiety, connection and exhaustion. I help clients make space for the full reality of these experiences without shame.
Through EMDR training and trauma-informed work, I also support clients in processing painful past experiences that continue to affect their present-day relationships, boundaries, anxiety, and sense of self. I often work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature, unavailable, or inconsistent parents and are now trying to understand their patterns, set healthier boundaries, and build relationships that feel more mutual and secure.
My experience as a counselor educator has also strengthened my ability to explain complex emotional patterns in a way that feels clear, practical, and validating. Whether I am working with clients around family dynamics, political and world-event anxiety, burnout, or boundary-setting, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, feel more in control of their choices, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and aligned.
