LMFT 120241Bio:
Being a new mom—or trying to become one—can leave you feeling depleted and stuck. Your body and time no longer feel like your own, and your well-being is always on the backburner. You may feel isolated, disconnected, and like you’ve lost a sense of who you are. Nobody really understands what you’re going through, and things just don’t feel right. Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting often look and feel so different from what we pictured. Constant anxiety, emotional rollercoasters, relationship struggles, frustration, and overwhelm can all be part of the experience. If you're finding it hard to get through the day, now is the time to connect with the right therapist. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own—and reaching out for support doesn’t mean you’re failing. Let’s work together to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and confident in the midst of this unpredictable journey. With a specialization in maternal mental health and parenting, I help parents calm their overactive nervous systems and understand how their body and mind respond under stress. Together, we’ll explore practical tools for managing daily demands, as well as the deeper roots of your emotional experience—so healing and change feel possible. If you’re ready to find more peace, balance, and confidence in your life, please reach out via email or visit my website to schedule your free consultation. I offer both online and in-person appointments, Monday through Thursday. I’d be honored to support you during this time.Specialty/Interest:
