Introduction: With over 10 years of therapeutic experience across community mental health, hospital systems, university counseling, and private practice, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating high-pressure lives, major transitions, and evolving identities. My clinical work centers on two primary focus areas: perinatal and parental mental health and the emotional wellness of high-performing individuals. I have completed advanced certificate training in perinatal mental health and I’m currently pursuing PMH-C certification. I work with birthing and non-birthing parents, including mothers, fathers, partners, and other caregivers, as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, pregnancy or infant loss, birth-related trauma, changes in identity, relationship transitions, returning to work, and the emotional demands of becoming or being a parent. I also specializes in supporting high-performing professionals, leaders, athletes, creatives, students, and other achievement-oriented individuals. I help clients address anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, workplace stress, relationship concerns, major life transitions, and the pressure to consistently perform while appearing to have everything together. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion regulation strategies, and self-compassion. Her goal is to help clients develop sustainable coping tools, strengthen their relationships, and create lives that feel both successful and emotionally fulfilling.
