Hello! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here today. It is a brave and vulnerable step to consider therapy, and I believe it is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. I specialize in working with women experiencing perinatal and parenting issues: infertility and pregnancy loss, depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, birth trauma, and overall adjustment to parenthood. The journey to becoming a parent is complex, and you deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated along the way. In addition to this specialization, I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature, integrating feminist, psychodynamic, and person-centered perspectives. My style is warm and genuine, and I believe that our connection is one of the most important aspects of therapy. At the same time, I will help you to focus in on your goals so that you can see and feel progress. During our work together, I will use motivational interviewing and a strengths based perspective to map out a specific but flexible approach that works for you. This may include components of CBT, mindfulness, and other therapeutic interventions as appropriate.

I am committed to cultural humility and I work to thoughtfully integrate culturally responsive, antiracist, and trauma-informed values in both my professional and personal life. I am affirming and open to working with LGBTQIA populations. Whatever challenges you face, you are not alone. It is truly my privilege to co-create a safe, non-judgmental, and healing space with you and I look forward to meeting you!
