Life’s major transitions, like becoming a mother, navigating fertility challenges, relationship changes, or redefining who you are, can feel overwhelming, isolating, and nothing like you imagined. You may be juggling others’ expectations while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore. Or perhaps you’re carrying the weight of old wounds, such as difficult childhood experiences, trauma, or painful relationships, that make it hard to show up the way you want to in the present.
I provide a warm, supportive, and honest space where you can bring your whole self, even the parts you may not show anyone else. My style is relational and down-to-earth. I’ll listen with empathy and care, but I’ll also be active and direct when it’s helpful. Together, we’ll explore patterns from the past and build skills for lasting change.
Many of the women I work with long to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves and their families. Reaching out for help takes courage, and it can be the first step toward relief and meaningful change. If you’re ready to feel more supported, connected, and empowered in your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

I specialize in working with adult women, particularly moms navigating the adjustments of parenthood, perinatal mental health challenges, and life transitions. I also work with women healing from developmental and relational trauma, sexual abuse, and the impact of growing up in families where parents struggled with mental or physical health issues.

My integrative treatment approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy and draws from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to provide both deeper insight and immediate relief. In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision for graduate students, postdocs, and early career therapists, as well as consultation for therapists treating complex trauma.
