Are you feeling anxious, isolated, sad, irritable, or overwhelmed in the months or years following the birth of your child? Perhaps you’re coping with the loss of your pregnancy or infant, or navigating a pregnancy with circumstances that feel uncertain? Are you a parent who is struggling to find time and space for self-care as you juggle the many demands of raising children? I am here to support you during this time. I offer counseling services to California residents in the perinatal/postpartum periods who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, birth trauma/PTSD, and managing the challenges of parenthood.

As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health clinician (PMH-C), I provide specialized support that honors your unique journey. We will explore the experiences that have led you to where you are today and identify tools to help you cope with the stressors you face. We will take the time to process your life transitions and identify your unmet needs.

As a mother and therapist with experience supporting children and their caregivers in counseling, I understand how important it is for parents to have space for their own self-care in order to experience more joy and be present with their families. Please visit my website for more information and reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.
