Hi there! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing for over 12 years. I specialize in supporting parents—starting from the perinatal phase and beyond—through all the beautiful, messy, and transformative moments that come with raising a family. Whether you’re navigating the rollercoaster of pregnancy and postpartum emotions, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply wanting to feel more confident and connected in your parenting, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll make sense of the chaos, strengthen your coping tools, and rediscover your joy in the process.
My approach is warm, real, and collaborative—because parenting is hard enough, and therapy should feel like a place where you can breathe, laugh, and grow again. I am very direct in practice as well as action oriented- which means I am always paying attention to what can be different to make improvements. Lastly, I am emotion focused and trauma orientated.
This world can be challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step toward healing and growth. You deserve to feel better and to create the life you’ve envisioned for yourself. Together, we can help you reconnect with your strength and take meaningful steps toward the future you want.
