You just snapped at your kid or someone you love, and now you are stuck in a cycle of shame and guilt.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with 20 years of experience supporting people through complex life transitions. My work with emotional reactivity, grief, caregiving, and midlife change is both professional and deeply personal.

As a midlife mother, I’ve lived the collision of roles, most acutely during my father’s illness and death from pancreatic cancer when my nervous system rarely felt at rest.

My approach is steady, compassionate, and practical. This work isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about creating enough safety and steadiness to choose how you show up and to take a first step back toward yourself.
