Therapy is collaborative, and we’ll work together to determine how I can best support you and the specific challenges you are experiencing. Together, we’ll explore your story, identify unhelpful themes and patterns, and find ways to help you find meaning and purpose in the midst of difficult experiences. I am especially passionate about perinatal mental health and supporting mothers and couples through pregnancy, postpartum, transitions and adjustments, infertility, and grief and loss.
My personal experience of becoming a mother during the pandemic while living in a foreign country informs my work, and I am sensitive to the unique challenges of motherhood and those experiencing multiple relocations and adjustments. I provide individual therapy for adults as well as marriage/couples counseling.
I believe true wellness must be holistic and purposeful, incorporating the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual elements of being human. I also work from an attachment perspective, and believe healthy and strong relationships are central to wellbeing. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey!
