Are you overwhelmed by fertility challenges, pregnancy, or new parenthood? Many women struggle with anxiety, depression, and isolation during this time. As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist and mother of two, I offer a warm, judgment-free space where your experiences are truly understood. Together, we'll work on finding balance in motherhood, developing coping strategies, processing grief, and building your support network. You deserve compassionate care during this important life chapter.

As an Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified perinatal therapist, I can support individuals struggling with Perinatal Mood Disorders (Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, Rage, etc), infertility, high risk pregnancies, NICU stays and medical trauma, or grief and loss. No matter your unique struggles, I am here to validate and support you during this time.

The path to parenthood can be both joyful and challenging. No matter your experience your feelings are valid, and you deserve support. As your therapist, I'm here to listen and help you feel truly seen. You don't have to navigate this emotional journey alone. Let's work together to rediscover hope and embrace the transformative experience of parenthood today
