Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who has been working with individuals and families for the last 20 years. I have been focused on maternal mental health for the last 10 years working with pregnant and postpartum moms, and helping moms transition in their role as a new mom. I am EMDR Trained, and have experience in trauma-informed care.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to meet you where you are at and try to help you identify what isn't working any more, what family patterns may be holding you back, and how to move forward. I will be curious about your lived experience and collaborative in identifying your goals and hopes for you and your family.

What you can expect from me

The first session will involve getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and allowing you to ask me questions. I hope to provide a safe, healing space to identify your concerns, and identify what you would like to see change.
