Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician who helps women navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the emotional weight of being everything to everyone.

Many of my clients are successful, capable women who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.

They are often balancing careers, relationships, caregiving, motherhood, or major life changes while struggling to prioritize themselves.

While I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy or infant loss, you do not need to be a parent to work with me. I support women across the lifespan who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, build effective coping strategies, and help you create meaningful, lasting change.

I enjoy being part of a client's process of learning ways to make their life work and help them feel good about themselves. I have psychiatric, educational, and life experience of 20 years in the field. This is dynamic counseling involving new tool and ways to look at situations. The 60 minutes session will give you at least one tool to help you do your life in a different way. Then we refine tools the next week. Goal setting and review will be part of your therapy work.
