Great to meet you!

I have a passion for working with women who are beginning the process of building their family or experiencing motherhood, and I enjoy supporting them throughout their journey of parenthood. I specialize in perinatal mental health, specifically postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and/or birth trauma. I also work with individuals who have experienced traumatic events throughout their lives and are currently struggling with depression and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with Perinatal Mental Health, specifically during pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and birth trauma. I am trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and my hope is to be able to help clients heal from painful life experiences.

What you can expect from me

My approach is about you, the client and what you need in this season. I strive to provide a safe space for healing and restoration while also normalizing the fact that life can be really HARD at times. I would be honored to be able to walk alongside you in the midst of the hard to hopefully help you find the joy!
