FEEL SEEN & SAFE
Therapy Services, Rooted in Care
Unsure if counseling is for you?
I will help you navigate the process, starting with an outline of what to expect from the very beginning. For a more detailed look at how I can help, continue to scroll, or book a free 15-minute phone consultation by clicking the button below.
HOW IT WORKS
Starting Your Therapy Journey
Initial Consult
01
I begin with a free 15-20 minute consultation to understand your needs, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit. We can also schedule your first session during this time.
02
Intro & Intake
First Session, 90 minutes.
In this first session, we will go over paperwork and get to know each other. This session is a bit longer, so I can get a good idea of your needs and how I can help you. We will explore your personal history, current challenges, and work together to set clear, meaningful goals for therapy.
03
Goals & Treatment Plan
Sessions 2-4, 60 mins.
At the beginning, I recommend we meet once a week for the first 4 weeks so we can keep up the momentum gained in session. Based on your goals and unique circumstances, we’ll create a tailored plan that outlines our focus areas and therapeutic methods.
Regular Sessions
04
We will then schedule regular 60-minute sessions based upon your needs and schedule.
Each session is YOURS. You can talk about the bigger things that maybe you didn’t think you wanted to talk about, or you can talk about the person who cut you off in traffic earlier that day. YOU guide the session.
We’ll continue to work through challenges using evidence-based techniques, building self-awareness, resilience, and healthier patterns.
Checkins & Continued Growth
05
We’ll regularly review your progress, adjust goals as needed, and ensure therapy remains effective and aligned with your evolving needs.
During therapy, I will provide the tools, resources, and support needed for long-term growth and well-being.
After Hours
06
If you have an emergency after hours, call 911. For any non-emergency need or concern, you can contact me through the client portal messaging system or go to the ‘Resources’ page for local points of contact for a variety of needs.
For the National Suicide & Crisis Hotline: Dial 988

During your initial consultation, together we can schedule your first 90-min. ‘Intro and Intake’ Appointment.
For any appointment following, you will be provided access to the online ‘Client Portal’. Through this secure and private electronic health record system, you can easily schedule, cancel, send direct messages, and make payments.

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT
Focused Areas of Care
Complex Trauma, Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm
Even when life looks stable from the outside, you might feel constantly on edge, exhausted from trying to hold it all together.
You may be the person others rely on. The one who keeps everything together, shows up for everyone else, and carries more than most people realize. But inside, things can feel different.
You might relate to this work if you:
Constantly overthink conversations or interactions.
Feel responsible for other people’s emotions.
Struggle to relax even when things are going well.
Find yourself people-pleasing or avoiding conflict.
Feel like you’re “too sensitive” or “too much”.
Have a hard time trusting that relationships are truly safe.
Work hard to keep others happy, even when your own needs get pushed aside.
You might deeply want connection, yet find yourself pulling back when things get too close.
You might find yourself emotionally flooded one moment and shut down the next
You noticing patterns in relationships that feel impossible to break.
Appear high functioning but feel overwhelmed inside
If you grew up in an environment where you had to stay alert, manage other people’s emotions, or take on more responsibility than a child should have to carry, your nervous system learned to stay in survival mode.
The patterns that helped you get through difficult experiences may now show up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or difficulty relaxing.
These responses make sense. They were ways your system learned to stay safe.
How Therapy Can Help
In therapy, you have a safe space to explore these internal experiences without judgment.
We will work together to:
Understand why your mind and body respond the way they do
Notice the patterns in your emotions, thoughts, and relationships
Begin to release the grip of constant anxiety, hypervigilance, or overwhelm
Build a sense of safety and stability in your body and mind
Discover ways to respond to life, rather than simply survive it
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping your internal world feel a little lighter, calmer, and more manageable.
Healthcare Professionals & First Responders
You are really good at what you do. You spend your days caring for others, often in life-or-death situations, yet you rarely have space to process what you’ve been through.
At home, it can feel lonely—like no one truly understands the weight you carry. You may notice tension, intrusive thoughts, or an inability to switch off, even when you desperately want to rest.
Many professionals in these fields quietly carry:
Increased anxiety or hypervigilance at work and home.
Emotional numbness or burnout.
Compassion fatigue or emotional exhaustion.
Feeling responsible for everyone else while neglecting your own needs.
Difficulty turning your mind off and leaving work experiences at work.
Replaying difficult situations long after they happen.
Sleep disruption or intrusive memories.
A sense that few people truly understand the weight of the job.
Over time, the stress of these environments can begin to impact your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
Working in healthcare, emergency services, or other high-responsibility roles can require you to stay composed in situations that most people never encounter.
You may be used to caring for others in moments of crisis, pushing through exhaustion, or setting aside your own emotions in order to do your job well.
Over time, that level of responsibility and exposure to stress can take a toll.
These reactions are common responses to prolonged stress and trauma exposure.
How Therapy Can Help
Having worked in healthcare for almost a decade, I understand the emotional demands and realities of medical settings. I can provide a confidential space where you do not have to hold everything together and where your experiences are understood without needing extensive explanation.
Together we may focus on:
Better understanding why you are so good in moments of stress at work, but at home you over-react or shut down.
Processing difficult experiences or cumulative stress from the job.
Addressing burnout, compassion fatigue, and emotional regulation.
Reconnect with meaning and purpose in both work and life
Learning ways to regulate your nervous system after intense shifts
Find ways to set boundaries and reconnect with yourself and those you love
Supporting those who care for others is deeply important work. Therapy can help ensure that your well-being receives the same attention you offer others every day.
This is a space where your experiences are seen, validated, and understood.
Perinatal, Postpartum, & Parenting Support
Parenthood changed everything. Even when you're surrounded by love and family.
You may love your child but still feel unprepared for the waves of anxiety, doubt, or overwhelm that come with pregnancy, postpartum life, or parenting. You might be asking yourself: “Why do I feel so different from what I expected?” or “Am I failing somehow?” Relationships—with your partner, family, or even yourself—can feel strained under the weight of these changes and old emotional patterns may begin to surface.
You may notice:
Feeling overwhelmed, irritated, or constantly on edge.
Feeling guilty balancing parenting and partnership with your own needs, while comparing yourself to others who seem to juggle it all with ease.
Feeling confused by emotions that come up when your child’s big feelings trigger memories of your own.
Feeling drained by the never-ending cycle of “Am I doing enough? Am I a good parent?”
Feeling isolated from your friends or misunderstood in your relationships.
Work has either become an escape from the overwhelming emotions or another place where worry follows you.
Pregnancy or postpartum mood changes
Anxiety related to fertility or pregnancy experiences
Identity shifts after becoming a parent
The emotional and physical demands of caring for a newborn
Relationship changes with a partner or family members
The pressure to “do everything right”
Pregnancy and the early parenting years can be deeply meaningful, but they can also bring unexpected anxiety, emotional intensity, or questions about your own upbringing.
Becoming a parent can activate deeper questions about safety, attachment, identity, and the experiences that shaped you growing up.
For individuals who learned early in life to be responsible, stay alert to others’ needs, or carry a lot internally, the transition into parenthood can bring those patterns into sharper focus.
How Therapy Can Help
Parenting was not meant to be done alone, it was meant to be supported by community and family.
As a parent myself, I feel this so deeply. Therapy with me can provide a supportive space to process the emotional changes that accompany pregnancy, postpartum life, and parenting, and a small piece of that community you may be missing.
Together we can:
Process fears related to pregnancy, birth, or parenting.
Understand the emotional shifts that come with pregnancy and parenthood.
Understanding and managing postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD.
Process difficult birth, pregnancy, or fertility experiences.
Explore ways to care for yourself while caring for your child.
Work to feel more connected to yourself, your partner, and your child.
Strengthen communication and support within your partnership .
Explore how your own upbringing influences your parenting.
Untangle the emotions that surface as roles and relationships change and navigate identity shifts.
Break free from cycles of worry, comparison, and address guilt, shame, or exhaustion that keeps you stuck.
Develop healthy boundaries to protect your energy and relationships without losing your sense of belonging.
Rebuild a sense of identity and self-worth in this stage of life, and reconnect with who you are outside of being a parent.
Parenthood is complex, and therapy can help you feel seen, supported, and more capable of being fully present for yourself and your child. It’s not that you aren’t capable – it’s that you have been carrying too much, often silently.
Later-in-life Transitions & Life Reflections
The house is quieter, and your routines shift. This stage can bring up old memories or emotions you set aside while raising your family or building your career. With fewer distractions, those feelings resurface, leaving you unsure of what to do with them.
You may notice…
Mourning the role that defined so much of your adult life, while trying to find your place in this new season.
Your role as a parent is changing, and with it, your bond with your child. You feel a distance growing; conversations may be strained or full of misconnections.
Family gatherings that once felt simple now leave you drained or feeling misunderstood.
Becoming a grandparent isn’t what you expected – it feels complicated, or you’re uncertain how to stay involved.
Looking back at your life, your choices, and relationships, and wondering if they match the picture you once imagined.
A sense of distance in your friendships and daily life, leaving you longing for more connection and meaning.
Retirement or career transitions
Shifts in identity or purpose
Changes in family roles or becoming a grandparent
Grief, loss, or health challenges
A desire to reflect on life experiences and personal meaning
You may have been the young adult that began a career at a very young age or started a family before you had time to spend by yourself and explore your identity.
You may be noticing life changing faster than you expected—retirement, changing family roles, or questions about your purpose. You might find yourself reflecting on what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve lost, or what still feels unresolved.
This reflective stage can bring up grief, uncertainty, and even a sense of restlessness you weren’t expecting.
How Therapy Can Help
Life’s later chapters often bring meaningful opportunities for reflection—but they can also involve significant change. This stage can be a time of growth, clarity, and deep connection—therapy can help you navigate it with support and understanding. Therapy offers a space to process these transitions while honoring the wisdom and experiences that have shaped your life.
Together we can:
Find meaning, confidence, and fulfillment while you discover this “next chapter” of your life.
Navigate grief and life transitions.
Reconnect with purpose and meaning in this stage of life.
Find meaning, confidence, and fulfillment while you discover this “next chapter” of your life.
Learn to advocate for your wants and needs now that there is more space and time for them.
Navigate changing relationship dynamics.
Adjust to changes in family roles and relationships and mold new ways to be in those relationships that builds connection.
Reflect on life experiences with compassion and perspective.
Process unresolved memories or emotions that are resurfacing.
This stage of life can also be a time of deep growth, reflection, and renewed connection.
