My website
I work with people navigating major life transitions, from preparing for parenthood and adjusting to postpartum life, to starting college, entering the workforce, moving away from home, or learning to set healthy boundaries. Clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, identity shifts, or challenges with communication and coping. I also support individuals managing the emotional challenges that can come with infant feeding. Most people come to therapy looking for understanding, guidance, and support to feel more grounded, confident, and capable as they move through change.
I provide supportive, trauma-informed therapy for pregnancy, postpartum, and life transitions. I help clients manage anxiety, stress, depression, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges of infant feeding. I also support youth, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate academic, social, and personal changes.
Life transitions can feel overwhelming, and it’s normal to need support. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, understood, and guided through your challenges. Together we can explore what’s happening, develop practical strategies to cope, and help you move forward with confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of balance.
