About me

My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I meet you where you are, taking the time to understand your unique experiences and goals. Together, we’ll explore the changes you’d like to see in your life, whether that means navigating a relationship transition with greater understanding and grace, building a stronger sense of self, or developing tools to better manage life’s ups and downs. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to work toward the growth and healing you deserve. Let’s take the first step together.

Get to know me

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

We will take therapy at your own pace. After a picture is painted of what your life has been like for you, we will shift our focus to what it is that you want your life to look like. Setting boundaries? Working through past traumas? Want to build your self-esteem? Heal relationships with others? Improve communication? We can work on setting goals and working toward them together.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in perinatal mental health, offering compassionate support to individuals navigating the unique challenges of this life stage. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, or coping with infertility or grief and loss around reproduction, I bring expertise and understanding to help you through these experiences. Motherhood and the journey to parenthood can be filled with both joy and uncertainty, and it’s common to experience emotional challenges along the way. With my years of experience in perinatal mental health, I can help you navigate mood changes, process grief, and build the tools you need to feel more supported and empowered during this time. You don’t have to face this journey alone—I’m here to help you find clarity, healing, and strength.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I tend to work from a basis of CBT, examining how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors impact relationships in your life; however, I have a wide range of tools and modalities to utilize in the course of our time together!

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

It's important to recognize your emotional state and how it impact your relationships, which is DBT's foundation.
