If you are here, you are likely navigating a major season of transition. Maybe your relationship feels strained and disconnected, or perhaps you are a new mother trying to find your footing amidst intense postpartum anxiety. I want you to know that you don't have to carry this weight alone.

My therapeutic style is relational, warm, collaborative, and active. I want to be engaged and connected to your world.

As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in two core areas: helping couples move from friction to deep connection using Imago Relationship Therapy, and supporting women through the profound identity and emotional shifts of Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health.

Therapy is a profound investment of your time, vulnerability, and resources—and it is an investment I respect deeply. To ensure you receive the highest standard of clinical care, I intentionally dedicate my own resources to advanced training, specialized certifications, and continuous education. Rather than relying on a static, one-size-fits-all approach, I constantly refine my practice with the latest evidence-based frameworks, so our time together feels effective and uniquely tailored to your healing.
