New to Grow
I specialize in working with couples during pregnancy and early parenthood, with a focus on preventing and treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through relationship support. The transition into parenthood is one of the most emotionally vulnerable seasons a couple can experience. Sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, shifting roles, and increased stress often lead to conflict, disconnection, or worsening anxiety and depression—especially when couples feel unprepared or unsupported. Research shows that strong partner support significantly reduces the risk and severity of postpartum depression and anxiety. In my work, I help couples build that support intentionally through psychoeducation, communication tools, and emotional connection.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I bring a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and perinatal-focused approach to therapy. Sessions combine emotional support with practical psychoeducation so couples feel empowered, not pathologized. Early parenthood is challenging—but couples don’t have to grow apart during it. With the right support, this season can become one of growth, resilience, and deeper connection.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
A therapist is someone who joins you in the darkness with a light to help you find your own way out. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, but is a brave act of self love. Congratulations on taking the first steps toward self improvement and healing. I believe you are the expert on your own life and counseling can be utilized as a tool to gain clarity, heal childhood wounds and offer fresh perspectives. My therapeutic approach is trauma informed and person-centered while utilizing, unconditional positive regard. One of my focuses is Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD’s) to help support mothers, fathers and families of all kinds with all aspects of the unique, life transition called parenthood. As caregivers, it is easy to put personal needs and our intimate relationships on the back burner and to get lost in our parental role. However, to continue or even begin your own healing journey is the greatest gift a parent can give to his or her children. Together, we can gently identify, address and heal past trauma wounds that may keep you stuck, in constant overwhelm and feeling stagnant. I look forward to creating a safe, non- judgmental space for you to exhale and heal.
