Therapy that speaks your language.

Discover the benefits of therapy.

Sometimes life piles on all at once. Anxiety, a new baby, a relationship unraveling, a version of yourself you barely recognize. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor who specializes in helping people navigate these moments with clarity and intention.

My work sits at the intersection of perinatal mental health, anxiety, and the relationship transitions that reshape who we are- including separation and divorce. Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you came. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and direct to help you grow towards a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

I believe…

  • Simple changes can have big impacts.

  • Therapy doesn’t have to be overcomplicated- real progress can happen in real conversations.

  • Therapy can be hard work, and it can also include laughter. Both belong in the room.

  • The way you talk to yourself matters. Self-compassion is foundational to mental well-being.

  • Clients are the experts of their own lives and experiences.
