Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience and a specialization in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to individuals navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University and am dedicated to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel genuinely supported during this transformative stage of life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is focused on empathy and empowerment. I strive to help those I work with make sense of the emotional and relational shifts that come with pregnancy and postpartum while offering tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and mood changes. I believe therapy is a partnership, and I strive to ensure every client feels heard, supported, and capable.

What you can expect from me

For a first session, I want to know what you want out of therapy. We will get to know each other, make sure we feel like we could work well together and ensure you are comfortable with the therapy process. We will also start exploring goals you want to accomplish in treatment.
