My Story
I started Haven Mental Health Solutions after working in an organization where, despite the dedication I poured into my work, I did not feel truly valued. Like so many women in helping professions, I found myself in a system that expected endless emotional labor without fair recognition or support. Creating Haven was my way out — and my way forward. It was an act of self-trust, courage, and belief that therapists deserve workplaces that honor their worth.
​
Haven is also deeply personal. "Haven" was my late mother’s name, and much of my path into this field was shaped by the role I held in her life. From a young age, I was someone she leaned on for emotional support. That experience taught me compassion, resilience, and the power of being present for another person — lessons that guide me as a therapist and ground my work today. Naming this practice Haven is my way of honoring her life and our relationship.​
​
I genuinely love telehealth as a way of practicing therapy. I feel profoundly connected to the clients I serve and am honored to walk alongside them on their healing journeys. I work with adult women experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, work-related stress and/or parenting stress. I generally work with my clients long-term, and utilize a client-centered and psychodynamic framework to help build insight and awareness into emotional and behavioral patterns. You'll typically find me attempting to draw connections between current emotions and past or childhood experiences. Hablo Español.
​
Haven grew from my desire for respect, balance, and alignment — and it has become a space where those same values are extended to the therapists on our team and the clients we serve.
