Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re facing grief, trauma, or unexpected challenges. Whether you’re navigating infertility, adjusting to motherhood, managing career pressures, or struggling with body image, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in supporting women through life transitions, helping you build resilience, find clarity, and reconnect with your sense of self. In our sessions, you can expect a safe space that’s genuine and collaborative. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can move forward feeling more grounded, confident, and understood.

My approach to therapy

I hope to create a comfortable environment for my clients. I use humor and problem solving balanced with self exploration and space for vulnerability. My clients can expect to feel heard, have a better understanding of themselves and their relationships, and ideally feel less stressed.

My areas of expertise include: trauma, grief, women's health, infertility, perinatal mental health, family relationships, anxiety, and work-life balance.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you will share what is going on in your life and what you are seeking help with. I will work to make sure you know how I can help and support you in deciding if I am the right provider for you.
