People who seem to have it together often feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected inside. If you’re navigating complicated relationships, worn down by work stress, or feeling stuck in perfectionism, you’re not alone. We can work on setting boundaries, managing burnout, and finding ways to feel more like yourself. I also support kids and teens who need a steady, calm space to work through big feelings or tough transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Together we slow things down to notice patterns, understand what’s underneath the stress, and try new ways of responding.

Humans endure complicated transitions and unexpected challenges while learning to navigate the world. Therapy can help individuals find new ways of approaching - and healthier ways of coping with - times of life that are naturally full of ups and downs. I enjoy working with people during dynamic times of life like adolescence, new parenthood, and middle age. I also specialize in supporting creative individuals and artist wellness. I help my clients better understand their brain and their body's responses. I view therapy as an active, collaborative process that can lead to healing and growth.

Do your child's behaviors and emotions impact you and your family on the daily? Do they impact your child's sense of self, relationships with other adults and peers? How about their school life? Do you find yourself stressed, confused, or hopeless as how to help them? It's so hard to watch our children struggle. Possible sources of stress that may be impacting your child's behavior: parental/family conflict, death of a pet, move of residence(s), school bullying, abuse/neglect, medical trauma, divorce, or separation to name a few. If any of this resonates, your child may qualify and benefit from play-based therapy.

Look at you! Come on, self-improvement! Therapy isn’t just for people who have a problem or issue to deal with. You can come to this space and feel seen, heard, and like you matter, because you do. The journey through life isn’t a straight road. It’s filled with twists and turns and bumps and climbs. One day, I can navigate it through light rain and cloudy skies. The next day can be driving up hill in a thunderstorm, downpour, gale force winds, and dark clouds. Not to mention, whose car is this, and how did I even get in it?! Having resilience doesn’t mean running away. Resilience is being terrified and facing it anyway.

I absolutely love working with individuals from all walks of life. I have a passion for working with people who have experienced traumatic events, chronic childhood trauma, adoption, BIPOC related concerns, grief and loss, and people who are in the never ending "middle' of parenthood. I additionally love working with LGTBQ+, woman/female identifying related concerns, life transitions, and perfectionism. I believe people can heal neglected parts of their stories by finding common themes and narratives that have been fragmented along the way in order to create a more holistic and "at peace" version of self.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
