Strength is built in the moments we face our challenges, let’s work through them together.
I specialize in perinatal mental health, women’s issues, anxiety, depression, and couples therapy. Life’s transitions can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, growth and healing are possible. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing, I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their emotions, build effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of control over their lives.
With compassion and empathy, I will guide you through challenges, helping you to build resilience and create meaningful change. Whether navigating motherhood, relationship struggles, or personal growth, you don’t have to do it alone—support is here every step of the way.
