Have you been taking care of everyone else while wondering who's taking care of you? Life can feel overwhelming when you're constantly carrying the needs of those around you. You may be doing your best to hold everything together while quietly wondering when things will start to feel easier. Many of my clients come to therapy during seasons of profound change, whether you're adjusting to pregnancy, life after a new baby, coping with infertility or pregnancy loss, trying to reconnect with your partner, or helping your child through a difficult season, you deserve support.
Therapy should be a place where you can finally exhale. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we'll build practical tools, strengthen resilience, and help you move toward healing with confidence and hope.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, children, and families navigating pregnancy and postpartum challenges, infertility, pregnancy loss, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, and life's many transitions. I'm also fluent in ASL and welcome Deaf and hard of hearing clients. I'd be honored to support you in your healing journey.
