I take a compassionate, collaborative approach to supporting new moms, women, and couples. So many moms struggle with postpartum anxiety, depression, and sheer overwhelm at the relentlessness of motherhood and the loss of self-determination in their new life. I help new(ish) moms find compassion where they feel like a failure, value their needs, and find ways to feel like “themselves” again. I also work with intelligent, self-aware women who struggle with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, and support them in finding calm, center, and self-trust through life's transitions, and to become their own radical ally and best friend.

You’re ready to DO something about this—not just sit and talk, but learn some practical ways to start changing your life and how you feel about it. You’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself, feeling disconnected in your relationships, and missing out on life.

Many of us find ourselves stuck reliving old patterns and creating needless pain for ourselves and others. Often these patterns, which may or may not be labeled by society as an illness or a disorder, represent our best attempts at responding to harmful circumstances and relationships, trauma, oppression, and other real challenges. Whatever the past or present may hold, our work now is to become aware of our patterns and decide which ones to keep and which ones to replace in service of ease and connection instead of continued suffering.
