About My Clients

Whether you’re having difficulty becoming a parent, adjusting to motherhood or noticing your child is struggling in their first few years of life, you don’t have to navigate these difficult issues alone. From conception through childhood, I specialize in the relationship between parents and their children. My practice provides psychotherapy to families, children and individuals experiencing issues related to parenthood, attachment, postpartum issues, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

With expertise in both maternal and early childhood mental health, I create a space for my clients to safely explore unspoken thoughts and feelings while holding out the hope that things can change. With extensive training in Child Parent Psychotherapy, my approach is relationship and attachment based. If you are a new mom feeling overwhelmed or are unsure of how to care for the little one in your life, I have over 10 years experience working with families and women experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety. If you or your child is struggling, please reach out to discuss how therapy can help.
