About

Neuro-Affirming & Trauma-Aware Therapist who is a mom with professional and lived experience

Biography

Life can feel heavy at times, whether you are coping with trauma, grieving a loss, or navigating the complexities of parenting. You may be dealing with anxiety that keeps your mind racing, stress that never seems to ease, or sleepless nights that leave you feeling empty, worn down, and disconnected. You might be adjusting to a major life change or parenting a child with special needs who experiences the world in their own way. Or perhaps you are neurodivergent yourself, navigating a world that often misunderstands you. You love deeply, care fiercely, and often put your own needs last. You are allowed to ask for help and take care of yourself, too. My approach is neuro-affirming and grounded in compassion, understanding, and real-life experience. As both a therapist and a parent, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle emotional demands, family needs, and your own well-being.
