Support That Meets You Where You Are
Personalized, compassionate support for individuals, couples, and families, designed to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
I offer psychotherapy for adults, youth, couples, and families, supporting clients through a wide range of life challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals.
Areas of focus include anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, maternal mental health, relationship challenges, and child and youth concerns. I also support individuals navigating neurodivergence, emotional regulation, grief, and major life transitions.
Drawing from both professional training and lived experience, I am particularly passionate about supporting perinatal and postpartum mental health. I also work with couples seeking to strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and develop healthier relational patterns.
For children and youth, I provide developmentally appropriate support while often incorporating family involvement to foster understanding, connection, and practical strategies at home.
My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

Addiction & Substance Use Support
Compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals and mothers navigating addiction, recovery, emotional overwhelm, and healing.
Substance use can impact every part of life — relationships, parenting, emotional well-being, self-esteem, and daily functioning. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, substances, prescription medication misuse, or unhealthy coping patterns, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore what you are experiencing without judgment.
At Strategic Solace, support is offered with compassion, understanding, and a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the unique challenges individuals and families face.
Support for Mothers
Motherhood can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting at times. Many mothers silently struggle with substance use, burnout, anxiety, shame, or feeling like they are carrying too much on their own. Therapy provides a space where you can speak openly, feel supported, and begin reconnecting with yourself beyond survival mode.
Together, we can work through:
- Substance use and recovery support
- Stress, overwhelm, and burnout
- Maternal mental health challenges
- Shame, guilt, and self-criticism
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Relationship and family stress
- Trauma and attachment concerns
- Building healthier patterns and supports
Support is tailored to your individual experiences and goals, meeting you where you are in your healing journey.
You do not have to navigate this alone. Healing is possible, and support is available when you are ready.
