I support women who are struggling with the overwhelm of motherhood, perinatal mental health challenges, and major life transitions. For many, that overwhelm shows up as anxiety, sleepless nights, difficulty balancing responsibilities that no longer feel manageable, and challenges in communicating with a partner while navigating the weight of multiple roles and expectations. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, adjusting to postpartum changes, or finding your footing in the midst of motherhood, my passion is helping women feel less alone, more supported, and more empowered to care for themselves as they care for everyone else.
I create a safe, compassionate space for women to process their experiences without judgment. Using DBT to support emotion regulation and IFS to deepen self-understanding, I help clients build tools and strategies to feel more grounded, confident, and supported through life’s transitions.
If you're nervous about starting therapy or wondering if this is the right fit, I'd love to offer a 15 minute free consultation to see if we would be a good fit. Send me an email and I will respond within 48 hours. I look forward to connecting with you!

I help women manage anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health concerns, and life transitions. Treatment plans often blend evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, IFS, and EMDR. Together, we set goals that feel realistic and meaningful. Clients can expect greater emotional regulation, improved communication, and a deeper sense of self-trust and resilience.
