I work with adults and adolescents (14+) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility, and life transitions (such as career changes, going to college, or becoming parents). My practice is a safe space to help you understand how past experiences shape your relationships, thoughts and feelings. Through this exploration, we can work together to better manage the pressure you place on yourself and feel more secure, confident and accepted.

Currently accepting telehealth clients for Tuesday mornings! Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most under-diagnosed obstetric complication in the US. Current estimates are that up to 1 in 5 women will fight depression postpartum and that non-gestational parents are also at an increased risk for depression and anxiety. While the "baby-blues" effect up to 80% of new moms, depression differs in its intensity and other key features. Early and expert therapeutic care is incredibly helpful in reducing these symptoms of anxiety and depression and carving out a new identity in the world's most difficult role-that of parent.

Welcome. My practice focuses on supporting clients with difficulties that arise as they adjust to pregnancy, birth and parenting. I have a special interest in the communication and emotional needs of infants and toddlers and in helping parents who are struggling to enjoy their relationships with their young children. I also enjoy working with issues unrelated to parenting, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties with transitions or problems in relationships, as well as working with people who would like space to think about who they are, what experiences have shaped them and how they want to live life going forward.

Do you feel overwhelmed and in need of some guidance? Does it feel like everything around you is changing and you don’t know where to begin? I believe we are all capable of healing and finding peace, we just might need a little help to get there. In my practice, I help clients navigate change by recognizing their emotions, inspiring insight, exploring their beliefs, and getting in touch with their bodies. Together, we explore the roots of your issues with the goal of reducing anxiety and depression, processing past traumas, understanding your relationships, and making meaning out of life transitions and loss.

My practice prioritizes helping families to get off to a strong start, with a special focus on new parents and their babies. In-home services include: couples counseling, individual support around perinatal mental health for moms AND dads (aiming to prevent Postpartum Depression & Anxiety when possible), hands-on parenting support including my direct observation & modeling.

I identify as an ethicist; a Womanist who advocates and practices feminist ideals, cultural humility through continuous learning, bodily integrity, reproductive justice, sex work is work, pacifism by utilizing non-violent resistance techniques. I believe children have rights, whistleblowers are vital in society, I embrace LGBTQ+, Black Lives Matter is factual, and representation matters. I practice mindfulness with the philosophy of ‘margin to center’ action. I embody, advocate, and support activism in action and respect of human rights. Neither ever ends, even when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable. We must remain firmly resolved
