Openings available! The postpartum and early parenting years can be a lot. Perhaps you didn't have the birth experience you wanted and/or have been struggling with all the changes during postpartum, including lack of sleep and time to yourself, relationship strains, how to feed your baby, figuring out boundaries with extended family, etc. Those early months and years after having your child can be a lot to sort through and manage. If you are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, and/or your relationships, you are not alone and my services can help. You can feel happier in your life and as a mom.

I specialize in working with mothers in the postpartum and early parenting years, including those struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, and past trauma. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who gets what it's like to want to be the best mom for their kids, while also trying to find a space for themselves.

Here, you can show up as your raw & authentic self- it's okay if you're home with baby, you're taking your therapy session from your car at work, or that you just feel scattered. You deserve the support and I'll "meet" you wherever you're at! You can have a life that feels happier and more connected to yourself, your children, and your relationships.
