I’m passionate about supporting women through some of life’s most tender and transformative seasons—from pregnancy and postpartum to grief, loss, and identity shifts. As both a therapist and a mother, I understand how complex these experiences can be. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can process, heal, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is grounded in compassion, practical strategies, and genuine connection. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Get to know me

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

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions coming in. In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll gently ask about what’s bringing you in, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping for in therapy. You’re welcome to share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the start. We’ll begin to explore what you need, and I’ll share how I can support you moving forward. By the end of our session, you can expect to have a clearer sense of direction and what working together might look like.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I bring a calm, grounded presence to our work together, especially during times that feel overwhelming or uncertain. I’m able to sit with both the heavy and the hopeful parts of your experience, helping you make sense of what you’re going through without judgment. I also focus on balancing emotional insight with practical support. Together, we won’t just talk about what’s hard—we’ll build tools and strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I tailor my approach to each person, meeting you where you are and adjusting as your needs evolve. Above all, I value connection. I believe that feeling supported and not alone in your experience is a powerful part of the healing process, and I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and care.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is a woman who is navigating a season of change that feels heavier than she expected—whether that’s pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, motherhood, grief, loss, or a major life transition. She may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or unsure of who she is in this current chapter of life. She’s often someone who is functioning on the outside but struggling internally, and she’s ready for a space where she doesn’t have to hold it all together. She values a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach and is looking for both emotional support and practical tools to help her feel more grounded, connected, and like herself again.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT focuses on helping you build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to get rid of them. We’ll work on creating space for what you’re feeling while also reconnecting with what matters most to you. This approach can be especially helpful during times of transition, uncertainty, or loss, helping you move forward with intention and self-compassion.

Attachment-based

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective, which means I consider how past experiences and relationships may shape how you feel and respond today. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll focus on building a sense of stability, trust, and emotional safety as part of the healing process.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps us understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll gently identify patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and work to shift them in a way that feels realistic and supportive. This approach offers practical tools you can use in your daily life to manage anxiety, improve mood, and feel more in control.
