I also enjoy working with adults, women, young adults, and college students.
Every person is a unique individual and it is important to consider all of the life factors affecting how each client experiences and thinks about life. Such factors may include family life, work, social environment, social supports, past experiences, physical needs (rest, diet & nutrition, exercise, etc.), spiritual beliefs, and mental well-being. I use methods that best meet each client's individual needs, and encourage my clients to work collaboratively throughout the counseling process.

My most recent experience has been in providing therapy to women across the perinatal spectrum and therapy for first responders.
In our sessions, my primary goal is to honor your time and make each hour we spend together impactful. I believe therapy should be a journey of growth, self-reflection, and empowerment. I strive to challenge and empower you to be comfortable with discomfort. Growth often comes from confronting aspects of ourselves and our lives that we may have avoided. I provide direct yet kind support, encouraging you to embrace vulnerability and explore your patterns, understanding those that once served you but may no longer be beneficial.

I work with women at every phase of the motherhood journey, from infertility, to miscarriage and loss, to perinatal and postpartum anxiety, OCD, and depression.
Currently accepting clients, as of March 2025. Hello, new or aspiring mother. If you are anywhere along the motherhood journey, then I see you! Maybe you're experiencing what you thought was just "baby blues," but it's still going, and making it hard to function. Maybe you find yourself having constant intrusive thoughts about the safety of your baby. Maybe you've experienced the pain of a pregnancy loss, and this has left you anxious about current or future pregnancies. Maybe you feel cheated of the joy that you thought was supposed to be yours during early motherhood. If this is you, I don't want you to go through this alone!

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
