From the outside, you look completely capable and grounded. You are thoughtful, resilient, and used to figuring things out on your own. But internally, your analytical mind is constantly working overtime. When you are highly intelligent and intuitive, it is easy to fall into the trap of over-analyzing your emotions rather than actually processing them—leaving you feeling disconnected from your body and your creative spark.

When working with pregnant/postpartum people and partners, I aim to support you as you navigate all of the emotions and changes that come with pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent, as well as challenges related to infertility and pregnancy or birth trauma.
The decision to start therapy takes courage. Often the idea of talking about personal thoughts and emotions can be anxiety-inducing. As an art therapist and mental health counselor, my goal is to provide a safe space to explore emotions through both verbal and creative processes. I apply art therapy and counseling techniques to increase self-awareness, reduce stress, and encourage healthy expression. I am dedicated to providing inclusive services to clients of all identities, including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community and diverse backgrounds, and strive to provide meaningful and affirming services for everyone I work with.

People often come to therapy feeling stuck in the same painful patterns — tired of the conflict, distance, built up resentment, or loss of trust. I help individuals and couples find direction when they feel disconnected or at a crossroads. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin to find clarity and relief. Meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by life's transitions or stuck in old patterns, you don't have to navigate this alone. Together, we can find clarity." If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re tired of holding everything together on the outside while your body carries the weight on the inside. Maybe you grew up in an environment where chaos, emotional inconsistency, or survival was the norm, and now, despite how capable you appear, you feel anxious, activated, or disconnected from yourself. You might notice patterns repeating in your relationships, emotions that feel too big, or a constant sense of tension that never fully settles.

I work with you to find a way forward in your life. I welcome all people regardless of age, gender, race, sexual preference, gender identity, faith, or ability to pay.

I offer an environment where clients can receive the necessary support to face the struggles that come with personal and relationship growth.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I try to offer affordable mental health counseling, because I believe that therapy should be accessible to all who need it. I also offer art therapy, play therapy, and life coaching. I want to help you to feel better--and help you to achieve the goals that matter to you. If you want, you can try a phone or online session (so you can do therapy from the comfort of home). I really look forward to working with you. At times, therapy takes effort, but it's rewarding to see the results!

Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be.

Something tipped the scale – a crisis, life transition, or enough of the same thing. You’ve tried to get through on your own in healthy and unhealthy ways, and now, you're ready for something different. While your story is your own, my clients find comfort in having an experienced therapist support them in navigating the themes, feelings, and difficulties that are more common than they ever knew. It’s less lonely that way. I often use EMDR to help clients reprocess difficult or traumatic experiences, to find relief from symptoms, feelings, and thoughts about themselves, that have been troubling them recently or for years.

I specialize in maternal mental health, perinatal emotional support, PTSD, anxiety, trauma, women’s issues, relationship concerns, infertility, grief, depression, and emotional overwhelm.
Pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and motherhood can bring emotional challenges that feel heavier than expected. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or unsure if you’re handling everything the way you “should.” While caring for everyone else, it’s easy to lose sight of your own emotional needs and well-being. I provide a supportive space where women can feel understood, regain balance, strengthen coping skills, and move through pregnancy and motherhood with greater confidence and self-compassion.

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
