When you're caring for a medically fragile newborn or facing the complexities of reproductive health, the emotional weight can feel unbearable. You might be navigating grief after a loss, feeling anxious during a high-risk pregnancy, or reeling from the stress of a NICU stay. These are not just medical experiences; they’re deeply personal, emotionally complex moments that deserve care and attention. In our work together, you’ll find a compassionate space to process the pain and begin to reconnect with yourself, your child, and your life.

I offer therapy that supports women across the reproductive journey from pregnancy planning to postpartum recovery. I also specialize in treating borderline personality disorder using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which offers skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and reduce distress.

I tailor therapy to your needs, integrating warmth with evidence-based strategies to help you feel grounded and understood. Therapy with me feels collaborative and empowering, grounded in practical tools and emotional connection. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out. I’m here to help you get started.
