You deserve a space where every part of your experience is met with compassion.
Pregnancy and postpartum can awaken anxiety, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, old wounds, and emotions you never expected. Whether you are trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to postpartum, or expanding your family, we'll create a safe, supportive space to understand what's happening, strengthen your confidence, and help you reconnect with yourself and the parent you want to be.
Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, becoming a parent can change the way you experience yourself and the world. You may find yourself constantly worrying, checking on your baby, avoiding certain situations, struggling to sleep because your mind won't stop, or feeling guilty for thoughts that don't reflect who you are. These experiences can feel isolating — but they are common and highly treatable.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I believe healing happens when we stop fighting ourselves and begin understanding what our minds and bodies are trying to communicate. Therapy is a place where every emotion is welcome, without shame or judgment.
I also understand that becoming a parent can bring unexpected changes to your relationships, identity, career, and sense of self. Together, we'll make space for all of it while helping you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the kind of parent and person you want to be.
