Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist specializing in reproductive mental health and wellness. For over eight years, I have dedicated my clinical practice to providing culturally responsive perinatal mental health services to women of color and women of traditionally underrepresented and underserved backgrounds. Through my work, I am a strong advocate for normalizing a birthing person’s experience before, during and after pregnancy.

My approach to therapy

Working with me in a therapeutic space can help you identify and address reoccurring life concerns that prevent you from thriving. My approach is a conversation infused with warmth, empathy, creativity and collaboration. I focus on meeting you right where you are. Your story is your truth, and I believe your truth should be witnessed.

What you can expect from me

I have extensive, specialized training in reproductive and perinatal mental health and I am passionate about helping individuals experience wellness before, during, and beyond their reproductive years. A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to helping individuals and their partners overcome challenges related to family-building, pregnancy, and parenting.
