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.
