I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, Illinois, and Missouri, specializing in supporting individuals and couples navigating perinatal mental health challenges, including birth trauma, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and the unique needs of neurodivergent parents. I provide support and guidance with processing trauma, managing stress and anxiety, and fostering emotional resilience during significant life transitions. With a focus on highly sensitive and neurodivergent parents, I also provide guidance on managing parenting challenges, preventing burnout, and building healthy relationship dynamics.
My approach is culturally sensitive, neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and systemic, honoring each client’s unique context. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, somatic therapies, and self-compassion work.
Therapy can be a transformative tool for self-discovery and growth. In our work together, my aim is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion, empowering you to achieve meaningful and lasting change.
