Thank you for being here - for prioritizing your needs and landing in this space. 

Life can get messy… It can feel overwhelming, lonely, exhausting, confusing, and defeating. Maybe you’re a new parent, that can barely find a moment to eat, shower, breath. Or a person that is feeling stuck because you want to understand yourself better, but you don’t know where to start. Despite those conflicting and uncomfortable feelings, you’re here and you’re choosing you. So, thank you.

 I believe that it’s important to consistently honor your existence, so you can expect to kick off a session together with a virtual cheers. Whether it’s water in your favorite tumbler or coffee in your comfort mug, I’ll always welcome you with a cheers before we chat because showing up for yourself deserves recognition. With that said, you can always expect me to meet you exactly where you are. Some days you may know exactly what you want to talk about, whereas other days you may be unsure and that is okay. Every facet of your story is always welcome here. 

My approach to therapy is warm, open, and direct, I do not shy away from bringing laughter and sarcasm into the conversation. Above all else, I am a fellow human that believes that you’re worthy of compassion, curiosity, and a judgment free space to explore the person that you are. 

As a mother to three young children that’s also navigating life for the first time, I understand the stress of feeling an urgency to carry all the heaviness of the world alone. Therefore, I am rooted in a relational and integrative approach. Meaning, together we will hold your hard moments (past or present) so that you can have the time to exist without pressure, expectations, or shame, within a co-created, safe, and trusting relationship. 

Additionally, I will combine approaches from psychodynamic therapy, gestalt therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and narrative therapy. I have experience working with trauma, grief, anxiety and depression, self-concept, and relationship issues. 

My focus is on identity exploration pertaining to major life transitions, including but not limited to parenthood and the perinatal period. 

Ultimately, choosing a therapist that is the right fit for you is essential so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I hope you take a moment to share a cheers with yourself because here you are, doing the work!

To note, I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) that is under the supervision of Dr. Jessie Erb (CRPO #008555).
