Whole • Human •Worthy

Helping adults navigate anxiety, life transitions, motherhood, relationships, and the beautifully messy work of being human.

I believe your humanity is the reason you deserve support—not the reason you need to earn it.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, motherhood, grief and the everyday pressure of trying to hold everything together.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable and deeply caring. On the outside, they often seem like they’re managing just fine. On the inside, they are exhausted by worry, self-doubt, perfectionism, or the feeling that they are carrying more than anyone realizes.

I know what it's like to juggle responsibilities, question yourself, and wonder whether everyone else got a handbook you somehow missed.
(And no, I still haven't found that handbook.)

For a long time, I thought the goal was to get better at holding it all together.

What I've learned—both personally and professionally—is that healing rarely comes from becoming a "better" version of yourself. It comes from learning that you were never meant to carry life perfectly in the first place.

A few things about me

• Current favorite therapy metaphor: You can be the juiciest peach on the tree and some people still won’t like peaches. It’s not your job to become an apple.

• Coffee order:  A warm French vanilla coffee that I take two sips of and reheat a few times before realizing I need water.

•  When I'm not working: Listening to audio books, browsing in thrift stores, slowly trying to convince myself I should try gardening.
