Therapy for women navigating motherhood, identity shifts, and reconnecting with themselves.

I most often work with women in their mid-20s through 50s who are navigating relationships, motherhood, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are adjusting to a “new version” of themselves—whether that’s through parenting, grief, or changes in their body—and want to feel more grounded, connected, and like themselves again.

Specialties:

  • Maternal Mental Health including infertile, miscarriage, anxiety and depression
  • Body Image
  • Parenting
  • Grief and Loss
  • Overthinking and Perfectionism

What To Expect

My approach is warm, genuine, and curious. Clients often describe sessions as a calm, safe space to do difficult work. I balance deep support with gentle challenge—I’m always rooting for you, while also helping you grow in ways that align with your values.

Sessions begin with grounding and checking in on how you’re feeling, often using simple tools to connect with your emotions and body. From there, we explore what feels most present, making space for both structured reflection and open-ended conversation. Sessions often close with a brief check-in or somatic practice so you leave feeling more centered.

The first session focuses on getting to know your story, your values, and what you’re hoping to shift. When helpful, I may suggest between-session practices like journaling, communication tools, or simple body-based exercises to support ongoing growth.

We Might Be a Fit If You Feel…

  • “Since becoming a parent, I feel anxious, overwhelmed, or not like myself.”
  • “I feel disconnected from my body or identity in this stage of life.”
  • “I’m processing grief, and it’s bringing up things I didn’t expect.”

A Little About Me

I became a therapist through a lifelong curiosity about people’s stories. My background in journalism deepened my belief that asking the right questions can lead to meaningful change. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as their stories evolve.

Outside of therapy, I’m married with two young children and love cozy movie nights, game nights, and traveling with my family.

I may not be the best fit for teens or for clients seeking treatment for severe addiction concerns.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and navigate this season of life with more clarity and compassion, I’d love to support you.
