If you expected to feel more like yourself during pregnancy or after having a baby, but instead feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected, you’re not alone. This season can bring emotional and identity shifts that feel hard to explain. Whether you’re adjusting to new motherhood or experiencing postpartum anxiety or depression, I offer a compassionate space to process your experience, build coping skills, and feel more supported, steady, and like yourself again.

Being a teen today can feel overwhelming, even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. Many teens struggle with anxiety, stress, and social pressure but don’t always have the words to express it. I focus on building trust and creating a space where they feel safe and understood. Together, we strengthen coping skills, emotional awareness, and confidence so they can better navigate school, relationships, and everyday teen challenges.

If your mind feels like it never shuts off and you’re constantly carrying stress, you’re not alone. You may appear high-functioning while internally exhausted. Together, we explore the roots of your anxiety while building practical, body-based and cognitive tools to calm the nervous system, manage racing thoughts, and reduce avoidance. My approach is collaborative, helping you feel more grounded, confident, and able to manage anxiety, chronic stress, and burnout.

If you’re used to being “in your head” and find it hard to slow down, MBCT offers a different way of relating to your thoughts. Instead of trying to fix or control everything, we focus on building awareness and responding with intention and self-compassion. This approach blends mindfulness and cognitive therapy and is especially helpful for anxiety, chronic stress, and preventing burnout, helping you feel more present, steady, and grounded.

If you’ve pushed through difficult experiences but still notice they affect how you think, feel, or react, EMDR can help you process what hasn’t fully resolved. You don’t have to explain everything in detail—this approach works by helping your brain and nervous system reprocess distressing memories so they feel less intense. EMDR is especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, and lingering stress, allowing you to feel more at ease and less triggered.

If you’re someone who holds it together on the outside but feels stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, or pressure internally, CBT offers a clear and practical path forward. Together, we look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected and gently challenge patterns that are keeping you stuck. This structured, goal-oriented approach gives you concrete tools to manage anxiety, reduce stress, and feel more in control of your daily life.
