Let's Connect (518) 263-0541

I work with individuals navigating the emotional ups and downs of parenthood—whether that means anxiety, depression, or trauma during the perinatal period, or simply trying to reconnect with a “new” version of yourself. I understand how overwhelming and transformative this season can be. The perinatal period is not only a time of birth but also of rebirth—a profound process of change and adjustment, both physically and emotionally.

I offer grace, validation, and hope in a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll develop a plan that supports your healing and growth so you can thrive during this transition and beyond.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based care using a person-centered, strengths-based approach. My goal is to empower you to navigate this season with confidence, resilience, and self-compassion—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I support clients through the emotional challenges of the perinatal period and major life transitions, including identity shifts, relationship changes, and trauma. In our early sessions, we'll explore what's feeling heavy and develop a plan to support your healing and growth. Many clients begin to feel more grounded and hopeful within the first few weeks.
