Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy

Strengthening our families can change our world.

I have advanced training in pregnancy and postpartum mental health and am passionate about supporting individuals through this deeply transformative time. Whether you're navigating the emotional shifts of pregnancy, the challenges of new parenthood, or the impact of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to thrive within this transformational season.

With more than 20 years of experience working directly with pregnant and parenting families, along with advance training and education in perinatal mental wellness, I am dedicated to supporting parents foster strong mental health and well-being within their families.
