If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship stress, or loss, you don’t have to handle it alone. I meet you where you are and we’ll build a clear, collaborative plan focused on what you want to change. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, ACT, and DBT skills. I’m especially passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and the postpartum season—helping you feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and loss—especially during pregnancy and postpartum. Using CBT, ACT, and DBT skills, we’ll create a clear plan, build coping tools, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Therapy can be a steady place to sort through what’s heavy and build real support and skills. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk with you.
