I focus on anxiety, depression, self-compassion, grief, and I love supporting individuals/couples through life transitions. I have a passion for helping new and hopeful parents navigate the family-building process, (be it pregnancy, postpartum mental health, child/pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, guardianship/foster care, and the baby/toddler years). Non-traditional family structures are warmly welcome here! My background in early childhood development and parent/child relationships gives me a unique perspective and the ability to support those struggling through the adjustment period of creating a family.
Whether you're overwhelmed, judging yourself or feeling judged, grieving the life you expected to have, battling mom-guilt or mom-rage (so real and so common!), struggling to navigate your emerging identity (i.e., gender/sexuality/new parenthood/young adulthood), or striving to process and break patterns of generational trauma—there's no need to do it alone!
I understand the vulnerability it takes to reach out for help. In our sessions together, I will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space, work with you collaboratively, interject humor, challenge your assumptions, respect you as the expert in your own life, provide feedback and guidance when asked, and offer an empathetic ear when not. Please reach out!

I work from a feminist, LGBTQIA affirming, and anti-racist perspective, striving to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for clients of all identities. I acknowledge the role that power, privilege, intersectionality, and systemic oppression play in mental health. I believe in personal accountability, but I also believe that we are the product of our experiences and our environment.

I work collaboratively, using mindfulness, attachment theory, CBT tools, narrative therapy and creative arts therapy tools to help you process trauma, understand unhelpful thought patterns, gain coping skills, and foster self-acceptance. You'll unpack how your environment (family of origin to present) influences you, and be challenged to push back where established patterns don't serve your goals.
