I imagine you’re searching for a therapist because there are parts of your life you are not happy with.
-
Do you feel responsible for keeping everything (and everyone) emotionally afloat?
​
-
Does it feel hard to truly rest, even when you’ve checked everything off your list?
​
-
Do you notice frustration when others seem able to slow down more easily than you can?
​
-
Does it feel like most of the invisible planning and remembering falls on you?
​
-
Are you curious about supporting your mental health through lifestyle and nourishment, rather than jumping straight to medication?
I'm so glad you're here!

Practice Owner, Therapist, Mom of 3
I am here to help you!
As a licensed psychologist and certified mental health & nutrition clinical specialist, I make it my mission to hear your concerns, challenge you, and help you become your version of the mother you always hoped you would be.
​
My integrative approach combines evidence-based therapies as well as nutrition and lifestyle changes personalized to you and your needs. I will help you learn to better manage your emotions, increase your confidence, and walk away with tools that actually make you feel better.
My Background
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important determining factor for therapeutic success.
​
I see mothers as the emotional foundation of the family. When they’re supported and well, the entire family thrives.
​
It is so important that you feel like you know me and small parts of my life in order for you to feel comfortable telling me about you!
​
I can relate to many of the issues that I work with today, which makes me so passionate about what I do. Being a mom of three, I have personally experienced many of the issues I help moms with today. Every birth is different. Our pregnancies and births shape our journeys as mothers and I can attest to that!
​
I have personally worked in many therapeutic settings that includes non-profits, in-patient care, group practice, and now my own creation, Village Psychology!​​​
My Credentials
I received my Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and completed over 4,000 direct client hours prior to becoming a fully licensed psychologist.
​
I am trained in humanistic psychology, evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), have advanced training in perinatal and postpartum mental health, and am a certified mental health and nutrition clinical specialist.
​​
I utilize an integrative approach, which means I create a personalized plan for each client to best meet your therapeutic needs, This can be a combination of therapeutic techniques as well as a combination of nutrition and lifestyle changes that are used to optimize your mental health and make you the best version of yourself!
