Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.

I also have advanced training in perinatal therapy from Postpartum Support International and love working with new and aspiring parents.
The road to adult "success" is often full of unexpected detours and barriers. Sometimes, we need support overcoming those barriers or even charting an entirely new path from our previous notions of what it means to be happy, whole, or fulfilled. Sometimes, these changes come with life transitions, such as becoming a parent. I especially enjoy working with people in this phase of life, as I know what it is like to do so in our demanding and unforgiving society.

Congratulations! Finding a therapist is a big step. I help clients navigate major life transitions: starting over in work or love, becoming a parent, managing anxiety, or redefining who they are. Change can be incredibly hard, but I believe growth happens when we embrace it together.
