Do you feel overwhelmed in motherhood? Having trouble finding YOU again? Feeling disconnected from your spouse after kids? I specialize in helping moms find their joy again and offer a safe, judgement free space to process emotions and learn skills to become the best version of you. I help women who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I also offer relationship support and help couples with communication, conflict management, and connection.
I am trained in Perinatal Mental Health, Functional Nutrition, and trained in Perimenopause/Menopause care. I offer a holistic approach to wellness by addressing root causes of mental health as they affect women. I'm also a Gottman Level 2 trained Couples Therapist.
I know it can be overwhelming trying to find a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable working with me so I offer a free 15 min phone consultation to determine if we're a good fit. If you have any questions please call or email me.
