About
You are exhausted from trying SO hard and never feeling like enough. Sometimes you feel ok but when you pause, you realize your thoughts are racing, your muscles are tense, and you are utterly depleted. Anxiety, self-doubt and your inner critic do not need to rule your mind and body. You are worthy of support and deserve to feel more at peace with yourself.
My therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. We will bring curiosity to struggles and you are invited to process experiences in a way that reminds you of your values and strengths. We will focus on learning new skills and work towards understanding and appreciating different parts of yourself. I love to help clients strengthen inner resources, cultivate self-compassion, create healthy boundaries and find more ease and joy.
I have a particular interest in supporting clients through reproductive challenges and decisions, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond (ie parenting in a pandemic) I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health by Postpartum Support International. I strive to create a supportive, affirming environment for people of all identities and experiences.
