Welcome! Finding a therapist can be an intimidating experience and you are taking the hard step - the first one. I provide a safe space to explore your challenges, recognize that you are not alone, and support you on your journey. Your feelings and experiences are valid and matter. YOU and your voice matter. I see adults (18+) who are facing a variety of challenges throughout the lifespan, particularly during times of transition, grief and loss. I work alongside you to identify and empower your own unique strengths and instill a sense of hope. From me you can expect authenticity, warmth, and reliability.
I specialize in life's transitions including: parental mental health, college, empty nesting and retirement. I have specialized training in: anxiety and OCD, infertility and loss, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, perimenopause and menopausal transition, sleep disorders, grief and loss. I am a working parent and have lived experience with PMAD's.
I work from a culturally sensitive lens and incorporate parts work, family systems, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, yoga, and experiential activities. As a working parent, I relate to the struggles of balance and parenthood guilt. Remember, your feelings are valid and you matter and are not alone. I look forward to joining you on your journey.
