Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Eugene, OR

I specialize in working with individuals across all mental health conditions, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, anger and irritability, and feelings of frustration or helplessness.

I am deeply passionate about mental health because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to improve their quality of life, build resilience, and experience meaningful recovery. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and getting out to explore and shop — life's simple pleasures that remind me of the importance of balance and joy.

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels safe, collaborative, and deeply human.
