Therapy is a journey and through our work together, my goal will always be to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be your authentic self. My approach to therapy will be centered around your needs and strengths as an individual, but typically has elements that challenge thoughts and beliefs which do not serve you, while encouraging growth toward your greatest potential.

A little bit about me...
After becoming a mom myself and having my eyes opened to the issues and concerns of new parents (both birthing and non-birthing partners), I found a passion in perinatal mental health. I became certified in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, which gave me the knowledge and background to work with individuals and couples amid navigating their mental health, relationship changes, identity shifts, etc. within parenthood.
As a young adult, prior to starting my own family, I can recall having my own struggles around my parents’ divorce, finding my circle of friends post-college, and navigating my career choices. My own experiences, combined with many years of counseling young adults has afforded me the ability to relate and effectively support others going through these changes in their own lives.
I have been able to connect and build powerful therapeutic relationships with individuals of diverse backgrounds and that will continue to be the driving force behind the work that we do together.
When I am not with my clients, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, son, and my Chocolate Lab. I also love to read, take cycling and barre classes, or watch some good documentaries.
