In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll slow down and create space to talk about what this season of life has been like for you. We’ll review your mental health history, current concerns, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. Because my work focuses on women’s mental health, we may explore experiences related to reproductive health, pregnancy or postpartum, hormonal changes, identity shifts, relationships, and the emotional load many women carry. If motherhood is part of your story, we can also talk about your pregnancy or reproductive history, your baby’s temperament or feeding experiences, and the support systems in your life so I can better understand your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach to women’s health is rooted in the understanding that women move through many seasons of life, each bringing its own challenges, questions, and opportunities for growth and self-discovery. I approach therapy with the perspective of someone who understands the emotional transitions many women experience. Whether that is navigating life after college and trying to find your path, or becoming a new mom and facing the self-doubt and insecurity that can come with early motherhood. My work focuses on helping women slow down, reconnect with their nervous systems, and become more in tune with their bodies so they can feel more grounded, confident, and whole. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients better understand their thoughts, regulate emotions, and build practical coping tools. Together, we reconnect with what matters most to you in this season of your life. I also recognize the realities of parenting young children, so babies and noises of motherhood are always welcome in session. If you need to feed, rock your baby, or have Ms. Rachel playing in the background, that’s completely okay here. Motherhood was never meant to be navigated alone, and you deserve support in this season too.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is a woman navigating a season of change in her life or health. She may be adjusting to experiences such as fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, relationship changes, or other shifts in identity and responsibilities that can feel emotionally overwhelming. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, stress, or the mental load of caring for others while trying to stay connected to themselves. I provide a supportive space where clients can slow down, process what they are experiencing, and build practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with what matters most to them.
