My ultimate goal is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and empowered to pursue the life you have always envisioned.

Specialties Anxiety, Depression and Trauma Anxiety often feels like your mind is constantly on edge, overthinking, and spiraling without a specific worry, while depression can manifest as a heavy, dark cloud that drags you down over an extended period. Trauma can exacerbate these feelings, making them more complex and difficult to manage. In therapy, we not only address anxiety and depression but also delve into how past traumatic experiences may be influencing your current emotional state. By understanding and processing trauma, we can work to unravel the unhelpful thought patterns and coping mechanisms that may be fueling your anxiety and depression. Together, we’ll explore these connections and develop practical strategies to manage and alleviate your symptoms. With the right support, it’s possible to navigate these challenges, heal from past trauma, and find relief and balance in your life. Pregnancy, Postpartum and New Parent Support You were eagerly waiting for the moment when you'd finally hold your baby in your arms and experience the joy of motherhood/parenthood. But now that your baby is here, those anticipated feeling of happiness and joy seem out of reach. Instead, you're overwhelmed feeling hopeless, sad, irritated, and even angry. You feel anxious and exhausted because you are not able to sleep or rest. You desperately crave for that special connection with your baby, but instead, you find yourself filled with regret and self-doubt. I want you to know that it's completely okay if you are feeling this way. Things will improve with time! As a mother myself I understand the challenges you are facing. As your trained perinatal therapist, I will be here to support and help you regain the joy of parenthood.
