Becoming a parent—or trying to—can bring a mix of hope, stress, grief, and unexpected emotional challenges. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, loss, anxiety, relationship shifts, or the emotional transition into parenthood, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I work with individuals to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to better understand yourself and your experiences. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and emotionally supported while navigating this season of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW, LCSW) serving clients in Maryland and Washington, DC, with over 14 years of experience across outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. As a Perinatal Mental Health–Certified provider (PMH-C), I specialize in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, reproductive trauma, anxiety, depression, and perinatal loss.
