I know that life can be hard.

As a therapist, I am committed to helping people navigate the challenges in their lives so that they can lead the meaningful, productive, and constructive lives they wish for.

Many people have patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, reacting, and living that repeat themselves again and again, sometimes even to the point that the patterns become chronic and unyielding.

Most people have a desire for aspects of their lives to be different.  Often, people make repeated attempts to change or to feel better, and yet, patterns persist, or they reemerge during times of increased stress.  This can be confusing, frustrating, and painfully disheartening. 

Often, people seek therapy when they are concerned, maybe even at their wits’ end, with repetitive or chronic experiences that keep them in some kind of distress, pain, or suffering, altering their life in some significant way(s), making them unhappy.

Working as a therapist for nearly 20 years, I have developed partnerships with my clients in pursuit of living an improved life. 

Everyone has blind spots in their awareness that contribute to being stuck in patterns that are distressing or even harmful.  Therapy is an opportunity to develop greater conscious awareness, clearing up blind spots, thereby forging a path to an aligned life.

Postpartum Support For The Modern Mother

Becoming a mother, in whatever way that happens, is a monumental experience. A mighty feat. A transformation at the core of one’s being. A permanent life-altering experience.

In the United States, there is insufficient follow-up support and space for processing what has transpired and what is unfolding in the days, weeks, and months following a birth.

Alongside positive feelings, mothers may feel:

  • overwhelmed and unsure

  • exhausted

  • isolated

  • under- and/or over-stimulated

  • intense pressure and responsibility

  • alone with their birth experience

  • yearning for the support and camaraderie of fellow women/other mothers

As a psychotherapist with a certification in perinatal mental health (and a mother myself) I am passionate about creating and holding space in a variety of ways to support and process the range of personal experiences of becoming a mother.
