Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in 98115

Hello! Adulting can be really overwhelming sometimes. I work with clients during various transitions in their lives who are dealing with challenges in their relationships, the road to parenthood, as well as grief and loss. These are not easy stages of life – working through differences with a partner; challenges with fertility, pregnancy, or the highs and lows of parenting; or adjusting to the loss of a loved one.

Hello! I primarily work with adults, and do enjoy working with teens 15+. In the current season of my life and practice, I work best with the following: depression, anxiety (especially social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, and phobias), grief, gender identity and sexuality, life transitions, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

I help people learn transformative skills of self-compassion, develop a deep sense of self-worth, explore how intersecting social identities have shaped them, identify core values, and show up authentically in their lives. I listen empathically, offer feedback and new perspectives, and challenge you to reconsider old decisions. Together, we focus on your strengths and the adaptive ways you have coped with difficulty. We connect the dots of your story, identify the roots of your current concerns, practice new skills in the here-and-now, increase your understanding of your mind and body, and integrate painful past experiences.

Every life is a series of transitions, some of which can feel impossible to navigate.

I specialize in issues of early childhood (ages 0-5) and perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mental health, working with young children and their parents who are in need of support.

The high school years are complicated. Teens are complicated. You're wondering where your happy child went and how to get them back. As a Mental Health Counselor and former High School Counselor that has worked with thousands of teens, I believe this unique developmental stage is deserving of specialized care. Teenage mental health is different than adults and children which is why we have to treat it differently. It doesn't have to be about disorders, labels and canned treatments. I believe teenage mental health is about seeing this complex developmental and transitional stage of life as an extraordinary opportunity for growth.
