Are you a successful professional navigating the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood? If you’re struggling with mental health challenges, identity shifts, balancing career and family life, or feeling unsupported by your partner and family, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping mothers find emotional balance, improve relationships dynamics, and redefine their sense of self during this transformative time. Together, we can work to strengthen your connection with yourself, your partner, and your growing family. Let’s build a path toward healing and support.
I work with various issues for example anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, suicidal thoughts, perinatal/postpartum mood disorders etc. My focus is children, moms/pregnant women and couples.
I believe that you are brave for taking a step to improve your wellness and strong to work on things that create difficulty in your life. I will be your support person to help you navigate towards a healthy path to change. I offers telehealth sessions and evening availability for appointments.
