As a therapist certified in perinatal care (PMH-C), I support individuals through the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, including postpartum depression and anxiety. I provide a safe space to explore emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen overall well-being during this important time. My approach is holistic, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and relational health during the perinatal period.
Additionally, I assist adults with challenges including depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relationship concerns using an attachment-based, strengths-focused approach. I integrate narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and EMDR to help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and build resilience.
Please send me an email or give me a call if you would like to see if we would be a good fit to work together.
