Collaborative Therapy for Women: Trauma & Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
*Not currently accepting new clients: waitlist only
Hello and thank you for your interest in working with me.
I specialize in women’s mental health, with particular expertise in trauma/PTSD and perinatal mental health. Life transitions—including building a family, becoming a parent, navigating perimenopause and aging, experiencing loss, or healing from trauma—can bring unexpected emotions and challenges. They can also change the way we understand ourselves and our relationships. You do not have to navigate these experiences alone.
I have worked in the mental health field for more than twenty years, including in nonprofit community mental health centers, schools, and private practice. Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting women through a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, sexual assault, childhood abuse, cancer, perimenopause, birth trauma, prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
My approach is genuine and collaborative. My work integrates current skill-based therapeutic approaches while recognizing that there is no single path to healing. I want to understand your unique experience and work together to find what is most helpful for you.
One of the things I value most about being a therapist is the opportunity to form authentic, trusting relationships with the people I work with. I believe that feeling safe and genuinely understood is an important part of meaningful therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, explore what feels difficult, and move toward greater understanding, connection, and a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
