Now accepting new clients. We all struggle at one time or another, facing challenges that make us wonder where to turn. Seeking therapy can be an extremely rewarding experience as you learn to navigate these challenges and uncover your strengths while taking strides towards your ideal self. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, with a specialization in life transitions and perinatal mental health. My theoretical approach is empathic, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I believe it is my role to help clients uncover the strengths they have and support them to move forward in new ways.
I specialize in perinatal mental health, and understand the many struggles that accompany bringing a baby home. Both parents benefit from support through this transition. In my sessions I offer an inviting space for clients to share their feelings and process them to better understand themselves and how they can move forward.
I welcome working with you to find the path that suits you best. My hope is that through the therapeutic process you will feel more confident, grounded, and calm.
