I provide therapeutic support for individual adults and for families around significant life transitions. Being human means that we experience transition and change. Some changes are expected and slower in nature. Some are abrupt and traumatic. Through my calm presence, strong support, and our therapeutic relationship, I can help you move through these transitions, and gain insight, healing, and change. I offer a nonjudgmental space where we can explore together sources of your pain or distress, while developing new ways of interacting with your self and others. I offer empathy, experience, and expertise to help you heal.
Most of my clients are working through significant life transitions, including: perinatal mental health concerns, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression, or family relational conflict. Additionally, I specialize in perinatal mental health, offering support to parents and families around mental health concerns pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Deciding to enter therapy can be frightening and uncomfortable. I will work to help you feel at ease through this process. Please visit my website for more details on my practice and approach. Contact me to set up a free initial phone consultation. You do not have to face this alone. I can help!
