Parenting can be beautiful—and it can be hard. Really hard. Especially if you’re raising a neurodivergent child who experiences the world in their own unique way. Some days you may feel like you’re holding it together by a string, wondering if you’re doing enough, or trying not to let the guilt and worry take over.

I’m a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I provide individual counseling to parents and caregivers who are feeling the weight of anxiety, parenting stress, trauma, grief, relationship dynamics, or life changes that shake their sense of self. My style is compassionate, collaborative, down-to-earth, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

Healing and change happen when we feel connected to others and accepted just as we are. My own journey as a mother of a neurodivergent child has shaped my passion for supporting parents, and given me a deep and personal understanding of the emotional, mental, and physical demands parents face—and the toll it can take on their well-being.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of parenthood, exhausted from trying to do it all “just right”, or determined to break the cycles you were raised with, I offer a safe space to exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin building a life that feels more grounded, more aligned, and more authentically yours.

Healing starts with one small step. If you're ready, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
