I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #139451) and mom to a wonderfully curious little toddler. My practice focuses the treatment of anxiety and related disorders, in addition to the unique emotional needs of new and expectant mothers.
I have years of training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD and PTSD. So whether you are experiencing generalized anxiety, a specific phobia or panic attacks, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, or perinatal anxiety, postpartum depression, or trauma associated with your pregnancy or birth, together we can create an evidence-based treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms.
If you’ve found your world getting smaller and smaller the more you try to avoid the things that make you anxious, I can help you learn to face your fears and get back to living the life you want to live. And if you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or alone in navigating life as a mom, trust me when I say I get it.
You don’t need to meet criteria for a diagnosis to ask for support. Regardless of what you are going through, I am here to help remind you that you are not alone, and to help give you the encouragement, compassion, and tools that will help you thrive.
