I have experience working with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and am passionate about supporting clients as they navigate the transition into parenthood.
Are you in a current life transition or struggling to find your overall purpose?

During our work together, I will utilize evidence-based methods to assist you in developing healthier ways of interacting with yourself and others. My therapeutic approach is diverse, drawing on a range of theoretical frameworks. I will rely on you to be the expert in your own life as I work as an active and attentive guide towards the path of healing and growth.

Whether you're navigating the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, loss, reproductive health, mood or anxiety issues, or other aspects, I'm here to understand your unique story and provide the support you need.
Parenting is hard whether you are trying to conceive or in the thick of toddlerhood. You wonder if you are doing enough and if you will ever feel like you got this. You are surprised at how anxious and disconnected you feel and are very hard on yourself. You often feel guilty no matter what choice you make. In our work together, you can learn coping strategies, process trauma, develop self compassion, and learn parenting strategies to build your confidence.

My specialties include perinatal mental health, life transitions, preparing for parenthood, pregnancy grief and loss, and breakdowns of trust and communication.
How are you doing? How are the people in your life doing? Sometimes, we wish that the answer to the second question didn't have an effect on the first, but it does. I believe that relationships are a key component to our ability to thrive- whether it's romantic, platonic, or the relationship you have with yourself. You'd be surprised how often the biggest stressors in our lives are associated with the relationships we have with our partners, our families, or within ourselves.
