I am licensed in WA, CO and WY. I work with adults who are often praised for being the “strong one,” the “self-aware one,” or the person others rely on, while quietly carrying anxiety, trauma, burnout, identity conflicts, relationship pain, ADHD/neurodivergence or years of unmet emotional needs internal. Many of my clients have spent so long surviving, performing or caring for others that they’ve lost connection with themselves in the process. Together we explore the deeper patterns beneath the surface with warmth, honesty, and curiosity so you can build self-trust, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more like your own.

However, these challenges do not necessarily define us when we are given the choice of what to embrace and of which we would like to let go. You have made the first step so far, which is taking the courage to reach out. I approach counseling from a resilience and strength-based lens, which not only aims to help you uncover the barriers that you have been carrying, but also envisions the many places of empowerment that your strength and resilience can be manifested. Welcome to my space.

High performers, leaders, helpers, and the “good” guy/girl look like they have it all together but often deal with anxiety and burnout, and long for more meaningful relationships. The burden of achieving results, the loneliness of leadership, and chronic stress of helping everyone can feel crushing, and even lead to chronic pain, migraines or autoimmune disease. Imposter syndrome, perfectionism and people pleasing take a huge toll on our relationships and how we feel about ourselves. In therapy, you’ll have a safe space to rest, recover from old wounds and the patterns that no longer serve you, and to leave feeling renewed!

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.

Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
