Becoming a parent, or trying to, can shake your world in ways you never expected. It can be joyful, anxiety provoking, overwhelming, or lonely, sometimes all in the same day. As a therapist with a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), I offer a calm, compassionate place for you to land. Whether you’re coping with pregnancy or postpartum challenges, birth trauma, fertility issues, pregnancy loss, or trying to find yourself again after becoming a parent, my goal is to support you with warmth and empathy. I also work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions.
If you’re feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ve been practicing since 2011, and the heart of my work is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment. My approach is collaborative and strengths based. I draw from DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices.
You already took the first step, and chances are you’ve been thinking about trying therapy for a while now. It took courage for you to reach out, so give yourself a moment to recognize that. I'm here to help you sort through life’s challenges. We will focus on you: your story, your goals, your speed.

I frequently utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reach their goals. Mindfulness is incorporated often in my work and I encourage people to be intentionally present in their own lives. I have additional post-graduate training in trauma-informed therapy and advanced training in perinatal mood issues.
