There are times in life where we feel extremely alone, lonely, misunderstood, unhappy and beyond frustrated. Sometimes these overwhelming feelings can be about others; and sometimes about ourselves. These situations can arise because of: anxiety, change, depression, grief, conflict, and immense life challenges. At times, these problems are too much to face and bear alone. I specialize in helping clients through overwhelming problems and challenges. I collaborate with my clients to find changes they want to make, how they want to "see and live" their lives. My approach to therapy is a positive, hopeful, open approach.

If you were given space to share the story of your body, how would it begin? What would that story say about love and loss, about eating and movement, about pain or trauma? Our lived experiences impact our ability to feel at home within ourselves and you may be there today. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Or you’re struggling to nourish and move your body in compassionate ways. Maybe your experiences have taught you that to connect to your internal experience would be dangerous or unsafe. Your ability to be in your body and use your voice may feel complicated, problematic, or even nonexistent.

You might not feel happy about your transition to motherhood, and it might not feel natural. You might not recognize the sadness or anger you are feeling, and all you want more than anything, is to feel connected to your baby. You want to feel better about this new time of your life, enjoy your child, and feel more confident in yourself. I specialize in helping women through this vulnerable motherhood journey.

In my experience, withholding, avoiding, or denying deep emotion is often the culprit behind suffering. My integrative therapeutic approach creates a safe environment for you to express those deep emotions. Employing curiosity and respect, I'll use stirring, intentional questions to dislodge buried sentiments. In doing so, you're free to uncover a sense of connection and stability in life. The primary goal of therapy is to enliven and enhance your emotional experiences and relationships through actionable insights. During this process, I pay close attention to what you say about yourself as guiding points for potential growth.

You deserve to take time for yourself and figure out how to experience joy and peace everyday. If you are in the midst of pregnancy or postpartum life can feel completely overwhelming. There is a lot that comes with this stage of life, the new anxieties, the uncertainty, the intrusive thoughts, and of course, the lack of sleep. And the big question of how to integrate all of the new experiences into your identity without losing yourself. Often pregnancy, birth, and postpartum don't go exactly how we pictured it and that can lead to depression, anxiety, and even PTSD. Right now you feel helpless but it doesn't have to stay that way!

Now offering daytime & evening appointments. Reaching out for help can be difficult & takes courage. I’m here to offer a safe space & provide support while you explore your issues.

Are you a mother or woman feeling blindsided by a life phase you thought you'd enjoy? Feeling overwhelmed, caught off guard and unsupported wasn't part of the plan. You thought this phase of your life would bring you closer to your loved ones, but you feel distant and not like the person you used to be. The pressure to meet societal expectations is making it more difficult. Or maybe the profound grief of pregnancy loss left you feeling isolated and heartbroken, as you grapple with the pain and try to move forward. The good news - this isn't who you are now. What you are experiencing are symptoms of the situation you are in.

You may be coming here as an adult looking for support to manage everything going on even though it looks like you have it all together from an outsider’s perspective. People tell you “you’re killing it” but you feel burnt out and lost. Maybe you’re a stressed out parent trying to help your child or teen manage their emotional well being and they will talk to anyone besides you as their parent. Perhaps, you’re at an earlier stage of parenting and are pregnant, in the adoption process or navigating postpartum, needing space to figure out what this new role means. You may have tried therapy before and had difficulty clicking with a therapist or have been looking for weeks, even months, to find someone who’s bio you connect with.

The pregnant and postpartum periods are life changing and can be beautiful. However, they are also incredibly complex, can extend well beyond the first year after birth, and can present challenges that are different from anything else. The symptoms and diagnoses that accompany this life stage are unique, but entirely curable with help from a specially trained therapist. My specialty is perinatal (“around birth,” or the pregnant and postpartum periods) mental health, which includes perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), perinatal grief and loss, and birth trauma.
