Facing everyday challenges is not always easy; however, when we come to better understand what is happening within us and in our lives, we are much better equipped to make changes. I believe therapy is a wonderful avenue to support this journey, and I consider it a deep privilege to support people through life’s highs and lows. I see my role as one of helping people to take on the challenge of navigating life with greater ease and grace. Together, we can find strength, hope, and healing, no matter what you might be facing.

I’m passionate about working with women who are navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle the demands of motherhood, relationships, and self-identity. The challenges of this life transition can be unexpected, creating feelings of anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, guilt, loneliness and resentment. It's easy to feel like you are not doing enough in a society that has constant parenting advice and impossible expectations. If you are feeling the weight of all of this, you deserve a space to process and make sense of it all.

Our lives are filled with contradictions: we have intimate relationships and yet we find ourselves holding back in different ways; we notice intense inner yearnings for change but struggle to move beyond the same patterns and repetitions. You may be coming to therapy with one particular issue in mind that you want to explore, or perhaps you're bringing a general sense of unease and stuck-ness that you find yourself in. Often times what initially brings us to work with someone can lead to many unexpected areas of exploration.
