Thank you for your interest in my counseling practice!
I provide individual counseling via telehealth for clients seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief and trauma symptoms. I believe that people are doing the best they can with the resources that they have, so my goal as a therapist is to help you develop self-awareness and coping skills so you can feel more resilient and secure in yourself.
My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.
With over 10 years of experience working with youth and families in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also bring a unique understanding of the pressures and experiences of student-athletes. I recognize the mental and emotional demands that come with striving for success—both on and off the field. Whether you're navigating performance anxiety, identity beyond sport, injury recovery, or balancing academics and athletics, I’m here to support your full journey, not just your performance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Jose
When you search for postpartum therapists in San Jose, start by looking for someone with training in perinatal mental health. Postpartum support can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. A therapist who lists postpartum, pregnancy, perinatal mental health, or a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) in their profile may have more focused experience with this type of care.
Local postpartum therapists in San Jose may have limited openings, especially if you need a specific schedule or in-person office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while accommodating infant care, physical recovery, and changing daily routines. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in San Jose can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who match your preferences and offer clear next steps, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm your coverage before booking.
