I am a licensed mental health and substance use counselor with 11 years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Over the years, I’ve supported clients facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, imposter syndrome, and self-esteem concerns. 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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We will discuss the reasons why you've come to therapy in the first place. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable; 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 and working toward goals together.

Describe the client(s) you are 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 (up to two years or longer if needed), trying to conceive, or coping with infertility or infant loss, 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.
