As part of a maternal healing collective, she empowers mothers and birthing people to heal and thrive during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
You love your baby, but this 'aint it! You’re drowning in exhaustion, invisible to the world, and stretched too thin between child-rearing, housework, and trying to keep it together. Asking for help feels pointless because it’s easier to just do it yourself. You want to feel like YOU again—not just a caretaker or a servant to your family. The guilt, overwhelm, and loneliness are suffocating, and you wonder if you’re the only mom feeling this way. You don’t need a spa day—you need support, validation, and a way to truly heal and thrive.

Feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in people-pleasing? Many of my clients are used to being strong for everyone else, yet feel emotionally exhausted and disconnected from themselves. In therapy, we work on releasing overwhelm, strengthening boundaries, and creating balance so you can show up as your best, most grounded self. Therapy is a space where you no longer have to be everything for everyone. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, combining holistic evidence-based therapy with real-life tools you can use right away. If you’re ready to prioritize yourself without guilt, I’d love to connect.

I have 20 years of counseling experience and have done extensive post graduate training in marriage and family therapy as well as in perinatal mental health.
Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our boss or loved ones. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to new circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to initiate change. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just want to feel heard. I strive to create a space safe where my clients feel comfortable sharing. I actively engage in conversation with my clients, meet them where they are and work collaboratively with them to bridge the gap between their current state of being and living their most fulfilled lives.

As a perinatal, motherhood, and trauma therapist, I'll help you find ease, connection, and joy in your unique journey.
Being a mom is harder than you thought. Every time you feel like you've figured it out, something changes. It's never-ending — so much to do and so little time. You want help, but it's easier to just do it yourself and it's hard to ask for anyway. You yell, but you don't want to. You're sad and don't know why. You feel guilty that you're not happier. You're overwhelmed and what used to help isn’t working anymore. You told yourself you’d be different than your parents and you're trying, but you still hear their voices in your head. The joy that you were told about feels far away. You wonder when it will easier. You deserve relief.

As far as others know you are doing just fine, but inside you are bombarded by feelings of fear, shame, and sadness. Even though you are able to function enough to get by, you're exhausted by the endless thoughts about not getting it "right". You've built a wall to protect yourself from being hurt by others. You're stuck reliving past failures in parenting, work, and romantic relationships. When you think of reaching out for help you're scared that if you take down that wall you will come undone.

Life can present us with a myriad of challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. You might be grappling with the pressures of high achievement, feeling like you’re never good enough, or struggling to find balance in your personal and professional life. The weight of perfectionism can be exhausting, making it difficult to enjoy the present moment or celebrate your successes. Many individuals face significant transitions—such as becoming a parent, navigating trauma, or dealing with relationship issues—that can lead to feelings of isolation or confusion.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.

Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
