Great to meet you!

Maternal mental health and wellness is very near and dear to me and I am passionate about helping parents find their joy again. It is my privilege to walk with you on your journey as you strive to cope with the unexpected while trying to conceive, during pregnancy and following childbirth.

I have worked for a Fortune 100 insurance company in leadership roles so I understand all to well the pressure all parents (new and seasoned) experience to optimize both areas of life -- work and family.

My approach to therapy

You and your situation are unique and the approach I will take in our work together will be equally unique. In our therapy sessions, we will work to address your current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior through utilizing several Evidence Based Practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

​You can expect a collaborative & empowering therapeutic process. We will work together to identify the core of your issues, develop a strategy to improve your overall level of functioning, and tap into your inner strengths. I meet clients where they are without judgment and with compassion. Through our work together, many clients have transitioned from feeling in a rut to experiencing profound personal growth and renewed optimism for the future.
