Becoming a parent changes everything, and for many women, it also changes how they understand themselves. If you've found yourself wondering why motherhood feels so much harder than you expected, or why you're more overwhelmed, touched-out, or emotionally exhausted than you think you "should" be, you're not alone. And you're not broken.
I specialize in perinatal mental health, including the anxiety, depression, grief, and identity shifts that surface across fertility, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I have particular experience with neurodivergent women navigating this season. I work from an attachment and trauma-informed lens, using CBT and DBT depending on what the work calls for.
If any of this sounds familiar, what you're carrying is real and it makes sense that you're struggling. You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out. A lot of my clients come in not quite sure where to start. That's okay. I am here to meet you where you are and help you navigate through your journey.

I offer both insurance-based and self-pay therapy. Some clients choose self-pay for greater flexibility, privacy, or access to daytime appointments, while others prefer to use their insurance benefits. I'm happy to talk through both options and help you decide what feels like the best fit.

I specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum depression and rage, parenting burnout, and neurodivergence in women. We start by getting clear on what's actually driving your symptoms, then build around your real life. Most clients leave with more clarity, better tools for regulating their nervous system, and a lot less shame about how hard this actually is.

I work relationally, meaning we pay attention to patterns in real time, not just in the past. When trauma is part of the picture, attachment-based work helps us understand how it shows up in your relationships and your nervous system. CBT helps identify the thought loops keeping you stuck, and DBT gives you skills for the moments when everything feels like too much.
