I believe matrescence isn’t a single moment or simple rite of passage but rather an ongoing process of integrating who you were with who you are becoming. Motherhood can bring a complicated and sometimes contradictory mix of emotions: joy and grief, love and loneliness, connection and uncertainty, gratitude and overwhelm. In therapy, there is room for all of it.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted through every phase of your motherhood journey. I specialize in supporting mothers as they navigate the transition into parenthood, identity shifts, changes within relationships, perinatal anxiety and overwhelm, parental stress, and grief in all its forms.

My approach to therapy is warm, curious, and compassionate. I believe meaningful therapy starts with creating a relationship where you feel safe enough to show up authentically without judgment or the pressure to have it all figured out. Depending on your needs, I also incorporate behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions to help you better understand your emotions, develop practical tools, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.

In addition to my work in maternal mental health, I have a clinical background supporting children and families in both outpatient settings and higher levels of care. These experiences, along with my own journey into motherhood, have strengthened my belief that supporting mothers matters not only for their well-being as individuals, but for the emotional well-being of the entire family.

It is a privilege to be invited into such vulnerable and meaningful parts of someone’s life. I would be honored to walk alongside you as we make space for both the beauty and complexity of motherhood.
