WELCOME / ABOUT ME
Welcome - I'm glad you're here. With over 20 years as a Licensed Psychological Examiner and more than 13 years in private practice, I bring extensive experience in psychological evaluations and the treatment of anxiety, mood concerns, and life-related stress. I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families find steadiness and hope during seasons of transition, uncertainty, or emotional overwhelm.
​
​
I especially enjoy supporting parents of children with special needs or developmental disabilities, as well as mothers navigating the many stages of motherhood. Together, we will approach therapy as a collaborative and personalized process, grounded in evidence-based practices, to help you feel more confident, supported, and aligned with your goals.
​
​
I believe care should be steady, thoughtful, and grounded in trust. Many of the people I work with are carrying quiet responsibilities - parenting, caregiving, decision-making, or holding things together for others. My approach honors that weight with gentleness and respect.
​
​I value connection, emotional safety, and authenticity, and I believe meaningful change happens when support is consistent and expectations are realistic. Together, we focus on strengthening resilience, clarifying priorities, and creating space for growth that feels sustainable within real life.
​​​
​
Motherhood can bring deep meaning alongside exhaustion, self-doubt, and invisible pressure. I support mothers in all stages - whether you are adjusting to new roles, navigating special needs parenting, managing anxiety or overwhelm, or rediscovering yourself after years of caregiving. This space is for you to be supported, not to hold everything together alone.
