I’m excited to welcome new clients! If you’re looking for a safe space to be heard and understood, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges and find hope and meaning. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples and families through significant life transitions, including pregnancy, the postpartum phase, and the complexities of trauma, loss and grief. The perinatal period can bring profound changes and challenges that affect not only individuals’ mental health but also family dynamics. Issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship strain are common, and can disrupt our ability to enjoy meaningful connections.

It is a goal of mine to make sure that you feel valued, heard and understood. I see counseling as something that is beneficial to all individuals, in every stage of life; whether you are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone who you can process the day to day with. I believe that in counseling you should be able to vocalize your needs throughout sessions. Sometimes what you need in the beginning of therapy changes and evolves, that is perfectly okay and welcomed! Counseling is for you, you decide what you want to bring to the session because you are the expert of your life.

Waitlist for new clients
The transition into motherhood is hard, and it becomes even harder when things don’t go as planned. Add in the pressure to perfectly “do it all” and it’s no wonder women are often left feeling stressed, burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Many of my clients come to me with goals of finding peace, gaining confidence, healing from past wounds, and changing the patterns that are keeping them stuck. Whether you are just starting the process of trying to conceive, in the throes of infertility treatment, pregnant, postpartum, or years into child rearing - I get it, and I can help.

Let’s be real, deciding to do therapy can be a really scary next step. Maybe you have never gone and you have no idea what to expect. Maybe you’ve tried therapy and it wasn’t a good experience. Or maybe you lost your previous therapist and you are sadly looking to find a new one. Wherever you find yourself right now, I am here to walk with you through the nervousness, newness, and down right uncomfortable moments. I am passionate about working with individuals who struggle with their relationship with their body, food, and exercise. Past trauma has a huge impact on this issue and utlizing EMDR is a tool I use to help clients heal.

In today’s world, we witness a plethora of stressors, which affect our day to day life’s mental health wellbeing. With the increased stress, and exhaustion in routine life, meeting the demands of family, work, and personal goals, especially during the pandemic period, it gets difficult to cope. The restrictions of social distancing has further isolated individuals who are seeking support to manage their overwhelming psycho emotional state. This extent of exertion leads to mental health issues e.g., depression, anxiety. These individuals can be a wife, a mother, a student, a teacher, a doctor, or a mental health professional.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.
