Professionally, I'm a Board Certified & Nationally Certified Counselor who specializes in women's mental wellness & maternal mental health. I hold master’s degrees in elementary education & clinical mental health counseling, with additional training in advanced perinatal psychotherapy and adult’s with childhood trauma. At the beginning of my professional counseling work, I interned for two consecutive years with a woman owned psychiatric practice. This experience provided me with the unique opportunity to learn about perinatal & postpartum disorders from different clinical perspectives, and collaborate closely with a psychiatric provider on client care. Since then, I have worked with a variety of clients including men, women, couples, and led therapy groups.

My education, non profit work, professional, and personal experience allow me to have a deep understanding of the unique perspectives of women of all ages. I have had to navigate some of the same hurdles, barriers, and demands that many of you have had to. Navigating my own process and growth refines my ability to provide precise treatment and support for the overall mental well being of women. It’s also helped me develop a deep compassion for those in relationship with women, allowing me to genuinely empathize with experiences different than my own.

I’m deeply committed to learning about the systems in place that perpetuate the barriers women face; and to learning about new ideas and methods of treatment to combat these issues. I believe that the work we do in the therapy room is a collective way to advocate for the needs of women as a whole. Cultivating safety, increasing self worth, and building confidence inside each woman, ultimately empowers her to use her voice and execute the change she needs and wants.

Collectively, these voices are loud and the execution is power. Giving women the experience of their voice being heard and validated is my life’s work. My hope is that work will translate to a world where women know the value & power in their voice and not be afraid to use it - that is the change I wish to see in the world.
