About My Clients

You're pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, or you're a new mom - and things aren't feeling like you thought they would. Instead, you feel vulnerable - maybe even filled with stress, worry, apathy, frustration, or grief. Though these things are *completely* normal to feel, they don’t have to stay that way. If you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, sadness, or loss related to the journey of motherhood, please know I am here to help.

My Background and Approach

I believe in creating an individual approach for each client. I specialize in maternal mental health and anxiety, with a PMH-C (perinatal mental health certification) from Postpartum Support International. I have a huge toolbox of techniques I teach to help you get relief in the immediate present, and I also provide a comfortable place to explore the past or what might be contributing to your current feelings. I utilize an integrated approach, with the goal of helping you feel more equipped after every session. Please know I will work with you to navigate this journey in the most supportive way possible.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is a place for you to be authentically yourself. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and cultures, and believe every person holds the power to grow and change. I’m passionate about maternal mental health and anxiety, and understand the pressure society puts on the journey to become/of being a parent. I'm incredibly passionate about breaking that stigma.
