Can Help.
01
Anxiety & Depression
For when your mind won't slow down — or when everything feels heavy and gray. Whether it's racing thoughts, constant worry, panic, or a flatness you can't shake, you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it. Together we'll understand what's underneath it, build tools that actually work, and help you feel like yourself again.
02
Children & Teens
A safe, warm — even fun — space for kids (8+) and teens to be exactly who they are, with support for their parents, too. I help young people navigate anxiety, big feelings, school stress, behavior struggles, grief, family changes, and the hard work of growing up in a complicated world. And I partner closely with you as parents, so the whole family can breathe a little easier.
03
Couples & Premarital Counseling
Reconnect, communicate, and build what's next — together. Using the research-based Gottman Method, I help couples move through conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, and feel like a team again. And if you're engaged or planning to marry, premarital counseling is one of the wisest investments you can make — we'll strengthen your foundation before the hard seasons come.
04
Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health
This is my heart's work. As a certified perinatal mental health therapist (PMH-C) with over 12 years in this field, I support you through every part of the journey — trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, loss, and the tender, disorienting early days of parenthood. Postpartum depression and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, grief, the loss of your old identity — none of it makes you a bad parent, and none of it is yours to carry alone. About 1 in 5 mothers experiences a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder; you are in good, understanding company here.
05
Trauma Recovery
What happened to you matters — and healing is possible. Using trauma-informed, evidence-based care, I help you process painful experiences at a pace that always feels safe, so the past stops running the present. You don't have to relive everything to heal; you just have to stop being alone with it.
06
Foster, Adoption & Kinship Families
Having fostered and cared for many children myself, I understand these families from the inside. I support adoptive, foster, and kinship families — and the children within them — through attachment, big transitions, grief and identity, and the particular weight these deeply loving journeys can carry.
07
Faith-Integrated Therapy (by request)
If your faith is part of how you heal, I'm honored to gently integrate it into our work — always, and only, at your invitation. And if it's not part of your journey, that's completely welcome here too.
08
Life Transitions
A new baby, a new city, a new chapter, a loss, a divorce, an empty nest, a shifting sense of who you are — the in-between seasons can be disorienting, even when the change is a good one. Therapy gives you steady ground to stand on while everything around you is moving.
09
Executive Functioning
If focus, organization, follow-through, or time management feel like a daily uphill battle, you're not lazy or broken — your brain simply works differently. I help kids, teens, and adults build practical systems and real self-compassion that actually stick.
My approach
Warm, Real and Grounded in Evidence.
Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and completely free of judgment. I believe you are the expert on your own life — my role is to walk beside you, offer real tools, and help you find clarity, healing, and lasting change at a pace that feels safe. I practice through a multicultural, inclusive lens, and I welcome clients of every background, identity, and story. Whatever you're carrying, we can make room for it together.
