Great to meet you!

Clients who work with me can expect a therapist who shows up with empathy, patience, and genuine care. I specialize in maternal mental health and support individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or pregnancy loss — experiences that can feel overwhelming, isolating, or unexpected. I believe your story deserves space to be heard without judgment. With more than 10 years of experience, I’m here to provide a supportive and calming environment where you can reflect, heal, and move forward at a pace that feels safe.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. While I often use CBT to explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, our work together will always begin with what feels most important and relevant to you. I aim to meet you exactly where you are — honoring your pace, your story, and your lived experience — while creating a personalized plan that supports your healing, growth, and overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and cared for. We’ll spend time exploring what led you to therapy, what you’re hoping to change or better understand, and the parts of your experience that may not always have space in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re seeking perinatal support or simply looking for a therapist who offers warmth, understanding, and authenticity, you’ll be met with empathy and respect.

While growth can sometimes stir up uncomfortable emotions, you won’t navigate them alone; I’ll support you at a pace that feels safe, while helping you build practical tools and a stronger sense of grounding.
