About me
I specialize in supporting parents and families to reduce stress, improve mental health, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.
Parenting is hard—especially when your child has unique challenges. If you feel overwhelmed, low on energy, or unsure about managing behavior plans, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping parents like you reduce stress, feel more confident, and take back control of their mental health. Together, we’ll create practical strategies to manage your child’s needs while making time to care for yourself. You give so much to your family—let me help you feel supported and balanced.
Something to know about my approach is: I am adaptive. I often pair strategies of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy to achieve the goals that best fit you. I am energetic and willing to do extra research to help my clients.
Growing up with trauma, I understand how hard it is to trust a therapist, especially if you’ve had the wrong fit before. My goal is to adapt to you or your child’s needs and help your family find confidence—whether reclaiming it or discovering it for the first time. I’ll work hard for you, providing the support and strategies you need to feel empowered
