About

Welcome

Parenthood doesn’t always feel the way we expect. You might feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly be questioning if you’re doing any of this “right.” Parenthood also has a way of resurfacing old wounds, patterns, or memories in ways we don't anticipate.

Pregnancy and postpartum life can unlock a whole world of uncertainty, expectation, vulnerability, and major physiological changes.

I work with new and expecting parents navigating perinatal anxiety, depression, trauma, and the emotional challenges of this major life transition. Many of my clients identify as perfectionists, or find themselves constantly circling back to a feeling of being "not good enough."

In therapy, I will teach you practical coping skills, offer honest observations, and challenge you to dig deeper to address the root of what might be keeping you stuck.

I specialize in perinatal mental health and trauma, and offer EMDR.
