Being a new mom is exciting, but it’s not always easy. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human. I provide a safe space to navigate the challenges of early motherhood, helping you feel supported, understood, and more confident in your relationship with your child.

I also work directly with children, helping them build social-emotional skills, manage difficult behaviors, and develop resilience. Whether working with mothers, children, or families together, my approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual’s needs—so everyone in your family can feel supported, understood, and empowered to thrive.

About Me

Helping others has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. From an early age, I was someone people naturally turned to when they needed a listening ear. A mentor once shared that I had a unique ability to bring light to difficult situations and encouraged me to pursue a career in a helping profession. It was during that time that I chose to become a social worker.

That passion has continued to grow throughout my education and professional journey. After more than 15 years in the field, I remain just as committed to supporting and empowering others as I was when I first began.

Since becoming a mother myself, I quickly realized that the transition to motherhood is often more challenging than we anticipate. Many of us enter this new stage of life with high expectations for ourselves, only to find that the reality of sleepless nights, emotional ups and downs, and the demands of caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming. We are not always given the tools, guidance, or support we need to navigate these changes with confidence. My goal is to provide mothers with a safe, compassionate space to process these challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and feel empowered in their journey through early parenthood.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially during difficult times. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness or failure—it is an act of courage and self-care. Everyone needs support at times, and you do not have to navigate challenges alone.

I invite you to reach out to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if we may be a good fit. Therapy is for everyone, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

What to Expect During a Phone Consultation

A phone consultation is a brief, informal conversation designed to help determine if we are a good fit for each other. It’s a chance for you to get to know me, learn about my approach, and share what you’re looking for in therapy. While every consultation is unique, here are some things we may cover:

1. Your Goals and Needs
This is an opportunity for you to tell me what you’re hoping to get help with. I’ll ask questions to better understand your concerns and goals. If your needs fall outside my specialization, I’m happy to provide referrals to other trusted professionals who may be a better fit.

2. My Therapeutic Style
Therapists, like people, have different styles. Some are direct, some are reflective, and some bring a more energetic or playful approach. During the call, you’ll get a sense of my style and how I work with clients, so you can feel confident in your decision.

3. Financial Considerations
We’ll discuss practical details such as session fees, insurance coverage, and payment options. You’re welcome to ask any questions to make sure you feel comfortable and informed.

4. Scheduling
If we both feel this is a good fit, we’ll talk about available session times. While I do my best to accommodate schedules, popular time slots may fill quickly, so we’ll work together to find what works best for you.

5. Next Steps
Once your appointment is scheduled, I’ll send instructions for completing intake paperwork through a secure patient portal. Filling out paperwork ahead of time helps me understand your needs before your first session and allows our time together to focus entirely on you.

6. Your Questions
This is your time to ask anything you’d like—about therapy, the process, or even what a typical session looks like. I want you to feel comfortable, informed, and supported from the very first conversation.
