I’ve Been in Your Shoes. I’ve Struggled, But There Is Hope.

I became a therapist because I know firsthand how much it can matter to have someone walk alongside you when you’re struggling.

I’ve experienced my own mental health challenges, and I’ve been on the receiving end of compassionate professional support. Those experiences showed me that struggling does not mean you’re failing, and needing help does not mean you’ve done something wrong.

It showed me that there can be hope.

Now, I have the privilege of offering that same kind of compassionate support to the women and mothers I work with.

My goal is not to tell you how you should feel or what motherhood should look like. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing.

More Than a Therapist

My experience supporting women during the perinatal season extends beyond traditional therapy.

I am a therapist, doula, and childbirth educator.

This allows me to understand motherhood from multiple perspectives and

gives me a deeper appreciation for the emotional, physical, relational, and personal changes that can happen during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

My professional background includes experience in a PreK-8 school, eating disorder treatment, private practice, and a larger agency.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people experiencing a wide range of challenges.

Today, my perinatal work allows me to bring those experiences together to support women through one of life’s biggest transitions.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical.

Sometimes you need a place to process what has happened and say the things you haven’t felt comfortable saying anywhere else.

Sometimes you need practical tools for when your thoughts are racing and everything feels like too much.

And sometimes you need both.

My approach incorporates evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also making room for deeper emotional processing.

Practical when you need tools. Compassionate when you need space. Flexible enough to meet you where you are.

Together, we’ll work toward greater emotional awareness, practical coping skills, confidence, and a stronger sense of yourself.

You Are More Than Your Role as a Mom

Motherhood can change so much.

Your routines change. Your relationships can change. Your priorities change. And sometimes, it can feel like you’ve changed too.

You can be incredibly grateful for your child and still miss parts of your old life.

You can love being a mom and still wonder where you went.

You can be a good mom and still need help.

Therapy can give you space to reconnect with the person underneath the roles and responsibilities, explore what you need, build confidence, and begin feeling like yourself again.
