Bio

I’m a millennial mom of two, an eldest daughter, and a deep feeler. I know what it’s like to want to show up differently, to break patterns, and to move through the messy and beautiful work of parenting. For over 11 years, I’ve supported families and parents in finding more calm at home, setting loving limits, and navigating neurodevelopmental differences.

I’m an attachment-focused and relational therapist who supports overwhelmed parents and adults with anxiety, emotional reactivity, and complex family relationships. I also offer play-based therapy for children, helping them build emotional awareness, understand how feelings show up in the body, process challenging experiences, express their needs, navigate fears & phobias, and develop supportive coping strategies.

When I’m not with clients, you might find me kayaking, reading, or enjoying coffee at the beach with my kids.

Training & Approach

My work is grounded in attachment theory, developmental science, and emotion-focused therapies. I believe our earliest relationships and our developing nervous systems shape how we experience emotions, connect with others, and navigate life's challenges. I integrate these approaches to support children, parents, families, and adults navigating emotional and relational challenges.
