Many people come to therapy after experiences that have left them feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. This is especially common after traumatic life events such as difficult births, pregnancy or infant loss, injuries, or other experiences that can deeply impact a person’s sense of safety and identity. I specialize in helping individuals process trauma, including pregnancy and postpartum trauma, traumatic birth experiences, fertility challenges, and reproductive losses.
I specialize in trauma, including pregnancy and postpartum challenges, traumatic birth, fertility loss, PTSD, and identity shifts after injury or life changes. Using CBT, DBT, inner child work, and Brainspotting, I provide a safe, supportive space to process experiences and build resilience.
I prioritize creating a trusting, relational space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and reconnect with your strengths. You’re welcome to reach out when you’re ready to take the next step.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
