As a psychotherapist, I work with parents throughout the life cycle using an integrative approach combining Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and psychodynamics to feel more grounded, calm, and confident as they navigate the challenges of life, particularly those brought up through parenting. I specialize in perinatal mental health, including anxiety, depression, pregnancy and labor trauma, infertility, grief, and loss. The transition to becoming a parent is one of the biggest, most monumental shifts we undertake in our lifetimes, and yet most of us receive the message that we should innately know what to do. I provide a warm, judgement-free space to explore all the feelings, fears, and frustrations that come up at each stage developmental stage, as well as offer parent coaching to face specific behavioral challenges.

Your mental health care is important. Encouraging authenticity, inclusivity, and humor, we will collaborate to establish a foundation of trust and increased awareness. I utilize psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy and somatic techniques along with mindfulness when appropriate to customize treatment to meet your needs. I want you to feel safe to bring your whole self to therapy, and to feel nurtured in the process. I know that connecting with a therapist can be a challenge, and I welcome a conversation to explore if we are a fit.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and relationship conflicts.
