My Ideal Client

Are you looking for therapy or a psychological assessment tailored for women? Do you feel sad or anxious after having a baby? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed as a parent? Does past trauma affect your life? You are not alone. It starts to feel scary when overwhelm takes over. You deserve emotional support from someone who is ready to listen with compassion and without judgement.

My Approach to Helping

I have 20 years of experience working in women's and infants' mental health, and I am certified in perinatal mental health. My expertise includes postpartum depression and anxiety, trauma, and parenting. In our work together, you will learn how to make space for sadness, anxiety, and fear. We'll work on pushing pause on the endless loop of worry, guilt, and judgment that plays in your mind. Once again, you will learn how to have compassion for yourself, nurture yourself, and ask for what you need. We will figure out how you can become less isolated. My approach includes understanding how feelings and emotions are related to each other and how we can change our behaviors (cognitive behavioral therapy). I also focus on mindfulness-based interventions, meaning using non-judgmental, present-moment awareness as a guiding principle to make space for your inner experiences and emotions.

My Values as a Therapist

I believe in compassionate and collaborative care based in an authentic and non-judgmental relationship. I care about your story, the experiences that have shaped you, and any pain you carry with you. Trauma is something that shapes us, gets passed down, and physically affects us. I am particularly passionate about understanding how women's experiences of trauma affect how the world interacts with them and how they can interact with the world. Therapy takes work. Hard work. And I will honor and respect your unique journey. I am here to meet you where you are at right now and recognize you are doing the best you can at any given moment.
