Matrescence, becoming a mother, is a completely unique and often transformational time in your life. It can also feel profoundly challenging. Many of the parents I work with are accomplished, driven people who find that the chaos and vulnerability of early parenthood catches them completely off guard. I specialize in perinatal mental health, birth trauma, couples navigating the shift into parenthood, and young children (ages 0-5) and their caregivers together. We get there one step at a time.
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified clinician (PMHC), I help individuals, couples, and families navigate pregnancy, postpartum, early parenthood, and healing from trauma and major life transitions. I draw on EMDR, CBT, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to support lasting change.
If you are reading this in a hard moment, reaching out is a courageous step. You don't have to have it all figured out before you begin, I'm glad you're here. Whether you are deep in the postpartum fog or starting to wonder if something just feels off, you deserve real support. I'd be honored to hear what you are carrying and help you find your way through.
