I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing exclusively in perinatal mental health — pregnancy and postpartum anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and pregnancy loss. I built my practice around these experiences because I know firsthand how underserved women in this season of life have been, and how much specialized support can change everything.
I didn't stumble into perinatal mental health. I was drawn to it because I understood, in a deeply personal way, how isolating and overwhelming the perinatal period can be — and how rarely women get the specialized support they actually need during it.
As a mother myself, I know that becoming a parent rewrites you. The joy is real. But so is the anxiety, the identity shift, the fear, the grief when things don't go as expected. I know what it's like to love someone so much it terrifies you. And I know how inadequate it feels when someone tells you it's "just hormones" or "what all new moms feel."
What I saw in my clinical work made me angry in the best possible way. Women with perinatal anxiety were being missed. Women with postpartum OCD were suffering in silence, terrified their thoughts made them dangerous. Women who had experienced pregnancy loss were being handed pamphlets and sent home. The gap between what women were experiencing and what they were receiving was enormous.
So I made a choice: I would build a practice entirely dedicated to this work. Not as a side specialty. Not as one area among many. This is all I do — and it's all I want to do.
I've completed advanced training with Postpartum Support International in perinatal mental health, earned the PMH-C certification, and done specialized workshops in perinatal OCD, birth trauma, and pregnancy and infant loss. What that means for you is that we skip the months of explanation and get straight to what actually helps.
My approach blends evidence-based tools with a relationship that feels real. You'll never feel like you're being run through a protocol — but you will leave sessions with concrete things that help.
I don't arrive with a predetermined plan and expect you to follow it. We build our work collaboratively — starting with where you are, what's not working, and what you actually want your life to feel like. You're the expert on your experience. I bring the clinical tools.
I use CBT, ERP, and mindfulness-based approaches because the research on them is strong — especially for perinatal anxiety and OCD. But I hold those tools loosely. If something isn't working for you, we adjust. Good therapy responds to the person in front of me, not a textbook.
Therapy doesn't have to be heavy all the time. I bring genuine warmth to this work, and when the moment calls for it, humor too. Some of the best breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened in the middle of laughter. You can be yourself in our sessions — all of yourself.
I know that finding a therapist — especially for something as personal as perinatal mental health — takes courage. You might be worried about what you'll have to say out loud. You might be wondering if what you're experiencing is "bad enough" to deserve support. You might have been dismissed before and are hesitant to try again.
I want you to know: nothing you say will shock me. I have sat with women carrying thoughts they were certain made them monsters, and I have watched them realize, session by session, that they were never dangerous — just suffering. I have held space for grief that the rest of the world couldn't see. I have heard the things women say only in the dark, and I have not flinched.
That's the space I'm here to create. Warm, loyal, and never judgmental. If you're ready — or even just curious — I'd love to talk.
