You’re my ideal client if you’re exhausted from holding everything together while life keeps life-ing. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, pregnancy or postpartum shifts, identity changes, or the messy mix of joy and overwhelm that comes with trying to grow and heal at the same time. You want to feel grounded again, understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and get support from someone who actually gets nuance, culture, and complexity of who you are, not just symptoms.
I specialize in trauma and perinatal mental health, using CBT, CPT, and trauma-responsive care to help clients manage anxiety, intrusive thoughts, mood changes, and the emotional weight of pregnancy and postpartum. My approach is steady, collaborative, and grounded in real-life tools that help you feel safer, clearer, and more in control.
If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine and ready to feel supported for real, I’m here. You deserve a space where you can take off the strong-friend mask and be fully human. Healing doesn’t have to feel heavy or lonely. You’re not meant to do this by yourself. When you’re ready, let’s take the next step together.

I work with clients who may be struggling with emotional regulation in relation to their life and relationships. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter
