You might be the one everyone turns to—at work, at home, in crisis—yet inside, you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’ve always been “the sensitive one,” or your mind never seems to turn off. You plan, analyze, and push through, but still end the day feeling anxious, depleted, or like you’re falling short. You might even know what you should do to feel better, but actually finding peace feels out of reach. Whether you’re a parent, healthcare worker, or someone moving through a major life shift, you deserve a space dedicated to you where you can slow down, untangle it all, and finally feel like yourself again.

My expertise lies in helping people overcome depression and anxiety, and navigate major life transitions including college stress, early career pressures, and the complexities of pregnancy or postpartum adjustment.
Many people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or depression while trying to keep everything together on the outside. You may struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, or coping habits—like substance use or emotional avoidance—that once helped but no longer feel sustainable. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand these patterns, and build healthier ways of coping. I'm here to help you find a new path forward.

Pre-Licensed Professional, Lpc, IT
East Village, Milwaukee, WI 53202
I specialize in women's mental health, immigrant mental health, perinatal mental health, political anxiety, and in tough life transitions.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. In a world undergoing a lot of change, a lot of us feel overwhelmed, afraid, or disconnected. As a therapist, I support people in navigating that in-between space—balancing the demands of daily life and the stressors of a changing world while making room for what feels meaningful and true. Many of us are asking bigger questions right now: How do we live with purpose and joy during times of change? How do we find clarity, hope, and authenticity? How do we face anxiety, depression, panic, or the pull to escape—and still move toward healing, growth, and a deeper sense of self?

Therapy looks different for everyone, because everyone comes into therapy with different needs. In general, therapy works by us having lots of (often weekly, sometimes more often, just shy of an hour-long) conversations in which we get to know your mind and heart to help you find answers to what you are struggling with. To get to know you better, I will encourage you to share with me thoughts, emotions, images… everything that comes to your mind. Nothing is off limits, and the hardest or most awkward things to talk about can yield the biggest benefits.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious or worried, no matter how hard you try to relax? Do you struggle to connect in relationships or get caught in cycles of negative self-talk? Perhaps your grief or emotional pain feels overwhelming—like it might consume you at times. You may be reaching a point where anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or grief are taking too much from your life, leaving you feeling stuck or powerless to change things. Maybe it’s been so long since you’ve felt peace that you can hardly remember what that feels like. But you are ready—for relief, for healing, and for a new way forward.

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.
