Periods of change can bring both excitement and uncertainty. Whether you're finding your footing in young adulthood or navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood, it's easy to feel overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself along the way.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's transitions, from young adulthood to pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes as they work toward feeling more grounded and confident.
As a therapist and mother who has experienced perinatal mental health challenges, I understand how difficult these seasons of life can feel. My hope is to help clients find support, build resilience, and remember that even the hardest moments are temporary. I look forward to supporting you as you create meaningful and lasting change!
