I specialize in perinatal mental health, parenting and relationships. I know firsthand how the path towards becoming a parent is not always easy. Many people seek my support after experiencing pregnancy loss or infertility, or because they are suffering with depression or anxiety as they navigate this stage. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients heal their wounds to move forward, and uncover what is holding them back and keeping them stuck. We will explore your own experiences in childhood to understand what parenthood means to you and was modeled for you, to help you find and align with the authentic self you want to be as a parent.

Therapy with me is a safe place where you are allowed to be imperfect and explore your human side. You can share your story, relax, cry, laugh, and grow into the person you want to be.
I know that you have the ability to thrive under the right circumstances and heal. So I focus on creating a compassionate environment for you to safely explore your thoughts and emotions. Once you experience unconditional positive regard, you’ll begin to outgrow the harsh inner critic and tap into your full potential.
Similar to tidying up your home, we’ll work on your mental space. I’ll help you examine the beliefs and stories you hold about yourself so you can let go of those narratives that no longer serve you. This new space will make room for new energy and a renewed focus to support your well-being.
The focus of my practice is to facilitate the client's self-concept and self-esteem. Issues include anger management; addictions; depression; sexual assault/domestic violence; PTSD; career counseling; and multicultural and diverse populations, among others.

My interest in anger therapy began years ago, while I worked as a management consultant. I saw clients and colleagues struggle to control their tempers at work, and I was no exception. Our anger did no good but much harm, especially in our relationships. It didn't have to be that way. Therapy can
Then I went to therapy. I confronted the issues underneath my anger and developed ways to control it. I also repaired
And with that has come feelings of agency, self-confidence, clarity, and hopefulness. It's a much more pleasant place to be.
I became a therapist because I want others to find that place too. I work with my clients as a partner, not a sage. Together, we build the insight, skills, and perseverance to get your relationship with anger back where it belongs. And in the process we explore so many other facets of your personality, core beliefs, relationships, aspirations, and more. It's a journey, and we stand shoulder-to-shoulder throughout.
