You might look like you have it together, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or not like yourself. Life transitions like becoming a mother, navigating fertility or postpartum challenges, relationship changes, or identity shifts can feel isolating and nothing like you expected. You may be juggling others’ needs while feeling depleted, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore. You might also carry the impact of earlier experiences (i.e. childhood wounds, trauma, or painful relationships) that continue to shape how you feel and show up today.
I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up fully - even the parts you tend to hide. My style is relational, active, and deeply insight-oriented. I don’t just listen - I help you understand patterns, connect past and present, and make meaningful shifts so you can feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
If you’re tired of holding it all together and ready to feel more supported, you don’t have to do this alone. Therapy can be a place where you exhale, feel understood, and begin to show up in your life in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.

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.
