Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!

​

Over the almost 20 years I've spent as a mental health therapist, I've supported many clients during the perinatal period, a time that can be wonderful and deeply meaningful, but also challenging, heart breaking and everything in between. As a mother of three who has also experienced pregnancy loss and my own mental health challenges after childbirth, I understand firsthand how complex this stage of life can be. Although my youngest is now 11, I continue to find great joy in helping and empowering new and prospective parents.

 

 My passion lies in reproductive and perinatal mental health, including postpartum depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment. I especially enjoy working with those who are planning a family, trying to conceive, navigating infertility or pregnancy loss, or adjusting to life with a new baby. I also love helping parents problem-solve around daily challenges, understand developmental stages, and manage the logistics of baby and childcare life.

​

In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore your challenges and discover your own answers and coping strategies. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy at some point, it’s a sign of strength to recognize when you need a little extra support during life’s transitions. My work is client-centered and collaborative, and I tailor my approach to each individual using Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic, and Solution-Focused therapies.

 

Outside of my work, I’m married to a teacher, and we share our busy home with three boys, two cats, and a dog. In my free time, I love reading, gardening (badly, but I try!), cheering for the Mariners, watching cooking shows, and spending time with friends.
