I work with adults and older adolescents with a wide range of difficulties, from anxiety and depression to struggles in relationships to prenatal and postpartum challenges to concerns around self-esteem and identity.
Feeling overwhelmed or not yourself? Are you often overstimulated since becoming a mom? Finding there to be always too many things on your plate? If this sounds familiar, I would love to connect for a free 15-minute consultation to discuss how I can help. I enjoy helping women and fellow moms to overcome symptoms of anxiety & depression. Focusing on exploring the impact of life's big transitions on us, I believe when we gain insight and understanding about ourselves. What we are experiencing does not define us, in learning effective strategies to challenge our symptoms and have the right support, we can find who you are again.

I specialize in maternal mental health and work with mothers in all stages of motherhood- infertility, mood/anxiety disorders occurring in pregnancy or postpartum, adoption, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and much more.
Motherhood is hard, and oftentimes a role that receives very little support. Do you feel alone in trying to figure out how to mother? Do you wish you could feel more confident in this role? I have devoted my practice to helping mothers create more satisfying, productive, and peaceful lives. I believe in the healing powers of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to foster a genuine connection with my clients. Our sessions will be interactive and collaborative. I have a great passion for 'helping people help themselves' and work in a participatory manner with my clients. I look forward to being on this journey with you.

I also have experience working with perinatal health and postpartum issues and have training from the Postpartum Support International (PSI).
Taking the time and energy to reflect and change is difficult, and it is a privilege for me to part of that process with you! I believe that everyone deserves and is able to achieve peace within themselves, with their bodies, and with their relationship with food. This means no more dieting. No more hatred towards your body. And no more "good and bad" foods. Body acceptance and eating intuitively without shame is possible. While my approach is eclectic and based on your needs and goals, it is always relational, person-centered, and goal oriented in an effort for you to feel better...with some humor mixed in as well!

Now I combine my clinical training, my personal experience, and my professional experience, to help my clients through fertility diagnosis/treatment, pregnancy after infertility, when to stop treatment, and adjusting to childfree life.
Fertility issues can be so lonely, whether it's struggling to conceive, having miscarriages, or having to terminate for medical reasons. Everyone around you seems to get (and stay!) pregnant whenever they want, and if one more person tells you to "just relax and it will happen" you may lose it. Thinking about how to get pregnant takes over everything, your entire identity, and you don't even feel like yourself anymore. Focusing at work, seeing friends, and sex for fun feel impossible. And, if you struggled with your mental health before infertility, anxiety and depression are probably off the charts right about now.

I work with clients as they navigate life transitions, including pregnancy and new parenthood, maternal mental health, women's mental and physical health changes, relationship/interpersonal challenges, and executive functioning challenges.

As a perinatal therapist, with additional training and experience in supporting sexual and relationship challenges, I focus on the ways pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can impact identity, function, and relationship.
Change is rarely easy. Whether you are changing jobs, changing relationship status, transitioning into parenthood, changing your identity, or facing some other big life transition, you do not have to do it alone. Often change comes with anxiety or even depression; sometimes we pursue change because of trauma or can be traumatized by the process; having someone to listen, witness, and support your growth may make the difference between surviving and thriving through the journey of change.
