I am deeply passionate about helping children, teens, and families navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that life presents. My goal is to support you in finding healing, wholeness, and joy in your life.

Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or major life transitions. You may feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's needs while putting your own well-being on hold. If you're a parent, you may be worried about a child or teen who is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, or low self-esteem and wondering how best to help.

I work with women, adults, children, teens, and families who are seeking healing, greater emotional balance, and healthier relationships. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, process life's challenges, and develop practical tools to move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and holistic. I tailor treatment to each person's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches while creating an environment where you feel genuinely seen and understood. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build effective coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and work toward lasting change.

For children and teens, I use play therapy, art therapy, and sand tray therapy to help them express emotions, process difficult experiences, and build confidence in developmentally appropriate ways. I also believe meaningful progress happens when caregivers are supported, so I partner closely with parents by providing guidance, encouragement, and practical strategies that strengthen the entire family.

I have a special passion for working with women and mothers. So many women spend their days caring for everyone else while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Therapy offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, develop healthier boundaries, increase self-compassion, and build the resilience needed to navigate the unique challenges of womanhood, motherhood, relationships, and life's transitions. You don't have to do it alone.

My hope is that every person who walks into my office feels accepted, understood, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, it would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and rediscover joy.

My Story:

I'm a wife of 27 years and a mother of five, so I understand firsthand that life is both incredibly meaningful and incredibly demanding.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years as a preschool teacher, where I discovered one of my greatest joys: connecting with children exactly where they are and helping them feel safe, valued, and understood.

Throughout my career as a therapist, I've had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and life's many unexpected challenges. Witnessing the resilience of my clients and walking alongside them in their healing is one of the greatest honors of my work.

My own experiences as a wife, mother, educator, and therapist have shaped the way I approach therapy—with empathy, authenticity, and the belief that healing happens through genuine connection. I know it takes courage to reach out for support, and I'm honored to provide a space where you can feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools to thrive. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey.
