Foundations Counseling & Wellness provides specialized support for women, couples, and families navigating life’s most meaningful transitions. Our work focuses on perinatal mental health, perimenopause, and relationship challenges, integrating evidence-based approaches with compassionate, individualized care. We believe therapy should feel supportive, grounded, and tailored to your unique experience—helping you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
I specialize in perinatal mental health, perimenopause, and couples therapy. I support individuals and relationships navigating anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, depression, relationship stress, infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and life transitions using CBT, mindfulness, mind-body approaches, and EFT-informed couples therapy.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying so much. Whether you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or not like yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space that feels supportive, grounded, and understanding. I also offer faith-based support for those who desire it.
