Searching for the right therapist can feel super overwhelming, and being vulnerable is scary — especially when you’re carrying grief, tension, or uncertainty about fertility, postpartum life, or your relationship.
I work with individuals and couples, especially those navigating fertility, pregnancy or postpartum, blended families, or relationship stress. Using brainspotting, integrative psychotherapy, and practical tools, I help clients process trauma, reconnect with their strengths, and leave sessions with skills they can actually use in everyday life.

I specialize in neurodivergence, perinatal & parenting, trauma, and burnout.
You don’t need another place to hold it all together. You need a space where you can finally exhale. You’re high-achieving, capable, and the one others rely on; yet underneath, you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or struggling. Maybe perfectionism keeps you pushing, even when you’re exhausted. Therapy with me goes deeper than surface-level coping so you can actually feel better, not just keep pushing through. I work with high-achieving women, therapists, and professionals who appear to have it all, while internally navigating anxiety, self-doubt, or disconnection. If traditional therapy hasn’t quite fit, you’re in the right place.

If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself or emotionally exhausted from trying to hold it all together, therapy can offer a space to slow down and reconnect with who you are beneath anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, masking, perfectionism, and more.

From the start of therapy, I bring warmth, curiosity, playfulness, and a calming presence to create an inviting environment where you feel genuinely seen and understood.

Change is inevitable, they say...and it’s hard. Whether the change you're experiencing is unexpected or was hard sought-after, the effect is largely the same: it leaves you feeling disoriented, misunderstood and alone. In place of the control and mastery you once felt in your life, there is now chaos. You find yourself either paralyzed by in-decision or fighting desperately to find a foothold, but you just keep slipping...

If you're a new mom or struggling in the postpartum period, this work can feel especially urgent.
Something’s not working — and you can feel it. Maybe it’s the constant anxiety. The racing thoughts at night. Or that quiet belief that you “should” be handling life better.
Whatever the symptoms, one thing is clear: this isn’t sustainable. That gap between where you are now and the peace of mind you want? That’s where I come in.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, warm, and practical — grounded in evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and mindfulness.

With over 15 years of experience, my belief is that seeking out counseling services is a brave and proactive way to improve one’s quality of life. I strive to tailor all of my clients’ therapeutic journeys to their respective individual hopes, goals and needs to leave them feeling more complete, joyful, and with a greater understanding of themselves than prior to entering therapy. I aim to create a warm, kind, inclusive and safe therapeutic space that is free of judgment and open to what the client brings to each session. I particularly enjoy working with clients through transitional periods in their life.

Has shame kept you in silence? Have circumstances robbed you of your peace? Are you struggling to cope with the stressors in your life? Do you feel like no one understands you or that you don’t fit in? Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, hopeless, angry, worthless, anxious, in constant pain, or out of control? Have you been hurt by people or systems that are supposed to help you? Trauma can shake the very foundation of our sense of well-being, safety, and belonging. And shame can hinder us from living the life we want and deserve. Whatever you find yourself struggling with, you don't need to suffer in silence or walk this journey alone.

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.
