I'm a therapist who supports individuals, parents, and families through some of life's most transformative seasons. I provide individual therapy and parent coaching, with a clinical specialization in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and the transition to parenthood. Through parent coaching, I also support caregivers as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of raising children, from toddlerhood through the teen years.

Before engaging in therapy work, I spent years leading wilderness expeditions and working in experiential and Montessori-based education. Those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today, deepening my belief in the healing power of relationships, the importance of meeting people where they are, and the remarkable capacity we all have to grow when we feel safe, seen, and supported.

My work is grounded in a deep understanding of child development, attachment, emotional regulation, and the parent-child relationship. Whether you're navigating infertility, preparing to welcome a baby, adjusting to postpartum life, or finding your footing as a parent, I hope to offer a warm, collaborative space where you feel deeply understood, gently supported, and equipped with the insight and confidence to care for both yourself and your family.

I’m a social worker with a heart for helping children feel safe, understood, and confident in who they are. I believe emotional growth often happens through play, creativity, movement, connection, and sometimes a little mess. Therapy can look like imagination, art, deep breaths, games, belly laughs, and meaningful moments...and I love creating space for all of it.

I love working with children and use play as a natural language for expressing big feelings, building confidence, and making sense of the world. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe enough to be silly, curious, expressive, and fully themselves, while parents feel supported and connected throughout the process.

I find so much joy in celebrating each child’s curiosity, resilience, imagination, and unique spark. I love walking alongside children and families as they learn, grow, and discover new ways to feel connected, capable, and more at home in themselves.
