The journey to motherhood is often described as beautiful—but it can also be messy, unpredictable, and incredibly challenging. As a mother myself, I’ve learned firsthand that parenting rarely looks the way we imagined it would—and that’s okay. There’s no manual for motherhood. The highs can be euphoric, and the lows can be overwhelming. I’m here to help you navigate all the peaks and valleys of your unique experience.

My background is rooted in community mental health, and I hold a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Over time, I’ve expanded my work to include couples and families, but my heart has always belonged to the perinatal and postpartum population. This chapter of life can be deeply emotional and is often wrapped in unrealistic expectations. The truth is: it’s hard to talk about the “not-so-great” parts of this journey. That’s where I come in.

I bring not only professional experience but personal insight to my work. I’ve walked through miscarriage, high-risk pregnancy, and traumatic birth, and these experiences allow me to sit with others in their own pain, fear, and resilience. Motherhood, to me, takes a little grit and a whole lot of grace.

I also work with partners and spouses of first responders. First responder life is full of pride, honor, and loyalty—but it also brings challenges, sacrifices, and moments of loneliness. It’s not always a life we choose; sometimes it finds us through a partner’s dream, a new career, or a family legacy.

It’s okay to feel proud of your partner and still feel overwhelmed by what this life demands. Whether you’re new to this journey, deep in it, or struggling to adjust—I’m here to support you through every season.

My goal as your therapist is simple: that you feel safe, seen, heard, and understood. I use a mix of therapeutic approaches—including Narrative Therapy and Strengths-Based Therapy—but ultimately, I tailor everything to fit you and your needs.

If you’re in the thick of pregnancy, postpartum, parenting—or navigating life as a first responder partner—I’d be honored to be part of your story.
