You know that feeling of carrying the heavy load of managing everything alone. That panic when you think you're about to lose it all. I’m here to be that support who helps you organize the chaos so you can breathe again. I’m at my best when I’m helping you find your way to a life worth living.
I’ve spent over a decade finding the patterns in the chaos. With eleven years in organizational leadership and strategic management, I’ve learned that the most complex situations are usually just waiting for someone with an understanding of humanity to make them make sense.
I will help you take those confusing life moments and sort them out with you until they feel easy to navigate. To me, everyone is capable of the hard stuff when they have a supportive ally who knows how to translate the panic moments into a clear path forward.

I'm here for you.
My Specialties
Childhood Issues
Children
Trauma & Abuse
Burnout
We can get that feeling that everyone else around us seems to know what they're doing and it can leave us feeling like we are just sucky. It can pop up at the most inconvenient times too. I'm here to help you find your way through the muddle, and figure out how other people learned this stuff.
Struggling with how your child is expressing their anger, frustration, or maybe they aren't expressing. Children's brains learn and experience the world so differently than ours. With your children, I will create an environment where the children are safe to process their most difficult experiences, but through PLAY!
That feeling of hollowness in your chest or a sinking in your stomach, and asking yourself if you messed up again. Will this one lead to nightmares? Will I spiral out and lose another relationship? The pain is just so confusing when we are recovering from trauma or abuse. Let's work together to get you nurtured and filled up again so that you can live.
Dragging through the day in zombie mode is just another drain. When do we get to live life again? Seriously, how much longer can we go like this?
Therapy can support the slog up out of burnout and into recovery. I know it seems like adding one more thing. It might just be worth it.
Therapy
Modalities
EMDR-trained
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Child-Centered Play Therapy
Sometimes it feels like our past just keeps following us around, and we cannot quite shake it. EMDR can help your brain find a path to healing. If you're asking yourself, "um, what?" Let's chat about it!
You know when you are struggling with a decision, and it's almost like you have two voices on your shoulder, or maybe you have a whole lot of different perspectives. With parts work and IFS, we can find our way back to ourselves and make a decision that feels safe and genuine.
When our children are acting out, it is easy to think we need to provide more rules. However, when children have a therapeutic space to make their own rules, we find that they are able to better express themselves. And, when children are able to express themselves, then they feel more themselves and are better able to function.
