Professional statement

I’m so glad you’re here! Are you a pregnant or new parent struggling with the new expectations, guilt, loss of a sense of self or feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you feel exhausted, frustrated, or lost by managing all the expectations and shifts in your new role? Are you carrying trauma from a difficult pregnancy/birth experience or past experiences? Are you looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of motherhood, relationships and mental health? If so, you are in the right place!

I am a mom of two littles who knows first hand the joys of motherhood and the incredible challenges that come with the transition to parenthood. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process and help clients heal and normalize the less than glamorous side of motherhood and the importance of reaching out for help and support during this season of life. My therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to support emotional well-being during this critical time in your life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in DC, Maryland & Virginia and a certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician (PMH-C). I earned my Master of Social Work from University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2018. I offer virtual therapy appointments to individuals and couples in DC, MD & VA.


Message to clients

The perinatal period is such a precious and also incredibly challenging time that brings up a lot of mixed emotions and feelings. It can be hard to reach out for help due to the stigma around what it means to be a good parent or how pregnancy and postpartum should look, but there is nothing to be ashamed of in reaching out for support during a time of immense transition. I hope that through our work together we can work together to get you feeling like your most authentic self again and enjoy the perinatal period, while also normalizing how difficult it can be. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or the overwhelming emotions of becoming a parent, I’m here to help you find balance and clarity.
