Warning: This ain’t your mama’s counseling™

Where it all started,

My real, raw, journey to founding Modern Eve

It all began in my high school psychology class. I was 16 years old and severely depressed and psychology gave me the language to express to my parents that I wanted to start therapy. I tried many therapists throughout high school. My 16 year old self saw them as old, out of touch, buttoned up, serious, conservative, and seemed more like doctors who were trying to fix me. I learned that that is not what I needed. What I needed was someone who was young, relatable, chill, and irreverent. Someone who is more like a big sister. So that's when I decided I wanted to become a therapist. To become the person I truly needed as a teen.

I hope these traits are evident in our brand. I don't want clients to feel a power differential or that they are the broken ones. I want my clients to feel free to be their authentic selves.

When the pandemic hit and everyone's mental health was going to shit, I began forming a team of bright, talented, mental health pros and dietitians. They bring their unique voice and gifts to the table to provide the highest quality care possible.

I seriously love being a therapist and practice owner!
