What I’ve noticed over and over is that, while others around them had opportunities to make choices and follow personal goals, caregivers often felt they had to put their desires on hold “for the greater good.” As a therapist and as a person, I find these stories both profoundly moving and critically important.

This passion is personal. I was raised in a home where storytelling was central—where we learned not just to speak, but to listen deeply. One story that has especially shaped my clinical interest is my mother’s. I witnessed her journey through perimenopause, and with it, the physical, emotional, and social changes that affected her in ways that were largely misunderstood or dismissed. What stayed with me was not just the experience of hormonal change, but the sense of isolation she faced when others minimized her symptoms or misinterpreted her needs.

Through that lens, I began to understand how society often fails to hold space for caregivers as they age. These are people who have made homes safe and nurturing for others. They’re attuned to emotions. They know how to ask how someone’s day was, how to offer comfort, how to sense the needs of others. And yet, when their identity as a caregiver begins to shift—when the kids grow up or when a partner doesn’t share the same emotional labor—they can feel invisible.

Caregivers are intuitive, wise, and deeply connected to the emotional world. These qualities, while beautiful, often come at the expense of their own care. Many of my clients arrive in therapy exhausted, depleted, and uncertain of who they are now that their role as a mother or caregiver is changing. Some feel guilt when they begin to want something more. Others feel grief for the version of life they’ve left behind.

This is the space where I love to work. I provide a therapeutic environment where clients are not only heard but deeply witnessed. I take a relational and emotionally engaged approach—one that goes beyond surface-level coping strategies to explore the roots of your pain, your patterns, and your potential. I will sit with you in the hard moments. I will not leave you emotionally alone on your side of the room.

Therapy with me is a space for reflection, laughter, grief, discovery, and intentional change. We will work together to understand where you’ve been and to clarify where you want to go. I bring my clinical knowledge, research-based practices, and strong intuition to each session—but you bring the expertise of your own life. Together, we’ll create a plan that aligns with your truth and your goals.

I work best with clients who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives—those who are curious about themselves and open to personal growth, even when it feels hard. I don’t believe in changing people. I believe in helping people reclaim who they are and who they want to become. My role is to serve as a guide, a co-navigator, and a witness to your transformation.

I’m also passionate about challenging the societal norms and generational patterns that have kept caregivers in the shadows. Part of my mission is to shift how we understand and support the people—particularly women—who have held families together behind the scenes. Therapy isn’t just about healing the individual; it’s about creating space for voices that have too long gone unheard.

If you’re feeling disconnected, stuck, or uncertain about the next chapter of your life, I want you to know that you’re not alone. Whether you're approaching empty nesting, already in the midst of it, or just beginning to sense that caregiving no longer defines your every day, there is space for you here.

In therapy, you’ll receive time, attention, and care—TLC for your emotional world. You’ll laugh, cry, explore your values, and rediscover your voice. I will show up fully for you and hold your story with reverence and care.

If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s begin this next chapter together.
