People who find me are used to carrying everything on their own. Their life experience taught them that the only person they can depend on is themselves. Now they're high-achieving, but don't feel fulfilled. Or they've become a parent and suddenly they're riddled with self-doubt and anxiety or depression and they want someone with advanced training in perinatal mental health. They come seeking a therapy process that goes beyond surface-level coping skills. I also work with children who have big emotions that are resulting in difficulty at school and at home.
I believe in this work because I’ve lived it. Too many of us spend our lives quietly outrunning our pain—and it almost works. But there is a version of you with more spaciousness, connection, and vitality. Accessing it doesn’t require becoming someone new—only turning toward what’s already there.
I know in my bones the vulnerability it takes to start a new therapeutic relationship. It is rare to open up your world, especially when you trust so few. I want to reassure you that I am a safe one. I have done the work and transformed my life so I could support others in doing the same.

Groups
Landing In Motherhood: Postpartum Therapy Group
Becoming a mother is deeply meaningful. It’s also disorienting, physically demanding, and emotionally intense. In addition to figuring out how to care for a new baby, many women find themselves navigating changes in identity, relationships, confidence, work, and mental health. Despite being highly capable and successful in so many areas of life, this transition to motherhood can lead to painful self-doubt and anxiety. This therapy group offers a supportive space to slow down, connect with other moms, and and get support while building trust and confidence in yourself as a mother.
