Do you feel stuck in your head — overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly second-guessing yourself? Maybe you're navigating a major life change, struggling to feel like “yourself” again during or after pregnancy, or trying to manage the daily weight of anxiety that just won’t go away. Whether you’re facing perinatal stress, mood shifts, or chronic overthinking, you deserve help that feels compassionate and supportive. I strive to make therapy a place where where you feel seen, understood, and empowered.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in helping adults manage anxiety, navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum life. Together, we’ll work at your pace to reduce overwhelm, quiet your inner critic, and help you feel more grounded.
I'm happy to answer any questions via email, phone or text. Even if it's just to talk through concerns around starting therapy. I'm looking forward to hearing from you when you're ready!

In the first session, we'll explore what's bringing you to therapy and develop a treatment plan with specific goals pertaining to you. From there, I utilize a client-centered approach, meaning we'll address what's most important to you in session. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assess how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are impacting you, influencing each other and can be managed.
