 WHO BENEFITS FROM MY APPROACH MOST:

  • Those experiencing significant changes, such as motherhood, career shifts, or relationship transitions, who need support in adjusting and finding balance.

  • Individuals facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), postpartum depression, or birth trauma who want specialized care to regain emotional well-being.

  • Those dealing with the emotional toll of infertility, pregnancy loss, or complex family-building journeys.

  • Those with past traumatic experiences, including childhood trauma, relationship wounds, or distressing life events, who can benefit from EMDR therapy.


I know reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. If you're here, you're probably carrying more than people realize. I want you to know this is a space where you don’t have to do it all alone.

Here’s what makes my practice unique:

• I bring a warm and welcoming presence into every session. My goal is for you to feel safe, seen, and comfortable being yourself.
• I have specialized experience in infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges. These are not just areas of training but ones I feel deeply connected to.
• This is a judgment-free space. You don’t have to filter or pretend. However you're showing up today is exactly where we’ll start.
• I use a combination of EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies. We’ll find what works best for you and move at a pace that feels right.
• I’m genuinely here to support you. My work is rooted in helping women feel empowered, heard, and supported through whatever season they're navigating.

If this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, I’d be honored to work with you.

What to expect: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—to help your brain process distressing memories in a new, less distressing way. Over time, the emotional intensity linked to painful memories decreases, allowing for greater peace and resilience.

Session structure: EMDR sessions are tailored to your comfort level and needs, ensuring a gentle and effective healing process.
Getting started: Let’s see if EMDR is right for you—schedule a consultation today.

Start Your Session

Prioritize Your Well-Being

Therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to uncover patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Our sessions begin with understanding your unique story, exploring what’s working and what feels stuck. From there, we set goals tailored to your needs—whether that means managing anxiety, processing trauma, or navigating a major life transition.

Using a personalized blend of therapeutic strategies we will gently address past wounds, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop tools to help you feel more grounded and confident. Throughout this process, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open, vulnerable, and truly heard. Healing isn’t linear, but together, we will take intentional steps toward the life you deserve.
