My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where clients can talk openly about their experiences and feel supported as they navigate this season of life.

As a mother of two children, I understand firsthand how transformative the transition to parenthood can be. Many parents feel pressure to live up to cultural expectations of “perfect” pregnancy or parenting, which can make it difficult to talk honestly about struggles such as anxiety, depression, feeding challenges, relationship changes, infertility, birth trauma, or grief and loss.

 

I believe no one should have to navigate these experiences alone, and I feel honored to support clients as they make sense of their feelings and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion.

 

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Francisco State University and my Master of Social Work with a mental health concentration from the University of Washington. I have also completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and hold the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C).

​

My clinical interests include perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, birth trauma, feeding challenges, the transition to parenthood, and supporting young or first-time mothers. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, incorporating mindful self-compassion, practical coping strategies, and strengths-based support to help clients feel more resilient and connected during parenthood.
