Great to meet you!

As a Perinatal, Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health specialist, I believe supporting parental mental health is foundational to family wellbeing. For more than 12 years, I have been supporting families through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years. When parents are supported, the benefits can ripple across generations, strengthening relationships and the emotional wellbeing of the family as a whole.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based interventions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe exploring emotional challenges. Together, we work to better understand patterns, build resilience, and increase connection and enjoyment in your daily life and relationships

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your current challenges and goals, and begin to identify areas where support can feel most meaningful. My hope is that you leave feeling a sense of relief, clarity, and confidence that we can work together toward meaningful change.
