I’m honored to collaborate with Bloom Women’s Wellness, a clinic where women's health and healing are prioritized. I provide compassionate and individualized therapy for people navigating challenges related to pregnancy or postpartum, coping with chronic stress, healing from trauma, or seeking relief from nervous system dysregulation. I also offer infant massage education to support early attachment and regulation skills. I believe in the power of a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows you to safely explore your feelings and experiences so that you can heal and grow at your own pace.
I am a licensed independent social worker, with supervision and specialization in the field of body psychotherapy and perinatal mental health. I work with clients using body-oriented talk therapy with an emphasis on compassion, mindfulness, and attachment while integrating other evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT.
My approach is gentle, subtle, and playful. In our work together, you can expect to reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner strength, allowing you to feel more secure and confident in navigating life’s complexities. If it seems like we would a good fit, I look forward to connecting with you and scheduling our first appointment.
