Currently accepting new prenatal and postpartum clients in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. My goal as a therapist is to be a safe landing spot for your biggest emotions, fears, traumas, and anxieties as you navigate the transitions of parenthood. Using a blend of evidence-based therapy styles and life experience as a parent of littles, I will work alongside you to help you understand yourself and find better ways to manage the stressors that have become unmanageable. You set the destination, and I will help get you there.
I work primarily with mothers in the prenatal and postpartum stages who are experiencing the effects of depression, anxiety, and birth trauma. I specialize in EMDR and CBT to target those negative beliefs and challenging experiences that can profoundly impact daily functioning and happiness as a new parent.
I believe in the intrinsic capacity of the self to heal, and my goal as your therapist is to partner with you to help you on this journey toward wholeness. Many moms (really good moms!) have been exactly where you are right now. It is normal to doubt yourself or miss the "old you." Send me an email and we can talk more about what your journey can look like.

Postpartum depression can feel like a constant cloud of sadness and anxiety that you can't shake. Our time together will be spent finding ways to challenge your negative thought patterns and help you to find joy in the transition to parenthood. Most of my clients feel a gradual increase in their confidence as a parent and learn many new coping skills to help them manage the hard moments.

I use a strengths-based and solution-focused approach with new parents, because identifying your innate strengths is an important part of helping you to believe in your self as a mom. I love using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR to help clients restructure their thoughts in ways that increase their happiness and resiliency as parents.
