I’m a licensed psychologist certified in perinatal mental health — supporting individuals and families through the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and loss. I understand that everyone’s journey to and through parenthood is different, and I honor that in our work together. I believe that you don’t have to navigate this season alone. I work with people experiencing: 1) Perinatal and postpartum depression or anxiety; 2) Birth trauma and NICU stays; 3) Pregnancy or infant loss; 4) Fertility struggles; 5) Adjustment to parenthood and relationship changes.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore your worries, grief, identity shifts, or relationship changes. I use evidence-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based strategies, to help you feel more grounded, connected, and resilient.
Finding the right therapist is important. If you’re ready to take the next step or just have questions, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you feel less alone.
