A little about me: I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and safe — and that is the foundation of my work. Within this space, we gently explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and build the tools needed for emotional regulation, clarity, resilience, and growth.

Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my role is to walk alongside you — supporting you in reconnecting with your strengths and moving toward a more aligned and empowered version of yourself.

Starting group therapy for multiple groups. DM for details and enrollment.

Group therapy is magical. Here are a few benefits: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌸Validation: Hearing others’ experiences helps people feel less alone and more understood.

🌸Peer support: Members can give and receive holding, encouragement, feedback, and practical coping ideas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸Different perspectives: Listening to others can offer new insights into personal challenges and ways to handle them.

🌸Cost-effective: Group therapy is often more affordable than individual therapy while still being professionally guided.

🌸Sense of belonging: Regular meetings and group goals can motivate people to stay engaged in their healing process.

Before I became a mother, I understood postpartum depression the way many clinicians do—through textbooks, case studies, supervision, and the stories clients entrusted to me. I approached it with the framework I trusted most: cognitive-behavioral therapy. I focused on identifying distortions, restructuring thoughts, and building practical coping strategies. And while I offered genuine compassion, I now realize that my understanding lived mostly in my mind, not in my body.
I could describe PPD, but I had never felt its weight.

Motherhood shifted everything.

No amount of clinical training prepared me for the emotional tidal waves that arrived after my child was born—the exhaustion that blurred the days, the quiet guilt that seeped in when I didn’t feel as joyful as I “should,” the intrusive thoughts that felt foreign, unwelcome, and terrifying. The disconnect between what I was experiencing and what I believed I was supposed to experience created a painful tension.
Suddenly, PPD wasn’t a chapter in a manual—it was a lived reality.

Through that experience, I learned that postpartum depression doesn’t ask for cognitive reframing first. It asks for gentleness. For slowness. For permission to not be okay. It asks for someone to sit in the dark with you before trying to bring in the light.

My work as a therapist changed because I changed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
My journey through postpartum depression didn’t just make me a more empathetic therapist—it made me a more whole one. Through lived experience, I now meet mothers where they truly are, not where theory says they should be. My work is infused with humanity, and my understanding of PPD is no longer abstract. It’s embodied. It’s intimate. And it fuels my passion to walk alongside others with compassion, clarity, and care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The epitome of loss of humanity, hope and probably words too

I cannot even begin to fathom the psychological impact of this massacre - on those who went through it, but also those who watched silently.

A lot of veteran’s face PTSD because of the helplessness in war zones. Thanks to social media, war zone clips are in our hands, on our phones. We are all passively experiencing the war and helplessly breaking everyday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Please check up on each other and talk about it. The impact of this inhuman act will follow us for generations ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
