My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where individuals feel empowered to heal and flourish. Whether I am empowering a postpartum client towards healing during the trenches of parenthood, or holding space in the depths of grief after a miscarriage or neonatal loss, I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients to foster growth, resilience, and renewed hope.

My journey began as a social worker with a specialization in children and families. Working in Level 3 and 4 NICU as well as a U.S. top 10 birthing hospital has further deepened my understanding of perinatal struggles, including high-risk pregnancies, traumatic births, unexpected medical diagnoses, neonatal loss, and perinatal mood disorders. Supporting individuals through these profound struggles has intensified my passion for supporting the perinatal population in private practice, where I can offer a more personalized and impactful approach to care.
I love to watch movies with my Fiancé, explore the zoo and museums with my son, and I aim to read at least 5 books a month. I also consider myself a foodie and love to cook and try new restaurants in my area.
Working out has done wonders for my mental health and well-being!
I have two terrier mixes, Aria is 14 years old and Tchaikovsky is 4.
