I am so glad you are here.

I am a life long learner and a lover of the ever changing seasons of life. I love the way books smell, I love to read and I love writing- both help me make sense of the world. 

I am a partner and a mama to some really amazing humans. I cherish all of my relationships and am deeply honored to connect with you and hear your story.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 17 years experience walking beside beautiful souls making sense of the world in a variety of clinical settings.  I am trained in EMDR, mindfulness based practices, completed a 200 hr yoga teacher training to enhance my own practice and teaching. I am currently working towards PMH-C, which is the only certification program in the country for Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. I am constantly expanding my professional and personal knowledge as part of my own journey.

I have learned that life doesn’t go the way we plan, more often than not.  There can be so much beauty in this space, along with grief, groundlessness, exploration of our purpose and identity.  All of it can be true at the same time, so much to be grateful for and also so much pain.

I am passionate about helping mamas navigate their journey to and through motherhood, along with accompanying folks moving through the ever changing seasons of life. 

I also have the privilege of working with other therapists in a supportive role, either therapeutically, as a supervisor and mentor. I spent several years working as an adjunct professor of social work.

Our way of existing doesn’t do a very good job creating space for change or even allowing for acceptance of the non linear nature of life. We exist in a time that doesn’t honor transitions in the way they need to be given space.  I will help you create space to honor your life and all the transitions along the way.

My own transition to motherhood was (still is) profound and continues to unfold every single day.  I wasn’t prepared for the overwhelming and conflicting emotions. There is a term for the psychological, spiritual, physical transition to motherhood, called matrescence (like adolescence, except it’s all about becoming a mama).  There is no cultural space for this pivotal life transition. Why aren't all of these changes talked about more openly?  Surely I am not alone in this and you don’t have to be.
