About

Many women and partners/fathers feel sad, anxious, stressed, and struggle to find joy or experience barriers connecting with their pregnancy or baby. You are not alone, and it is not your fault. Think of me as an ally in your corner, a mirror for your strengths, and a strategist walking alongside you during this time. I am passionate about working with women and parents experiencing perinatal anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorders during or following a pregnancy, and navigating parenthood. I am a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I am deeply committed to providing warm, evidence-informed services that empower and support clients toward improved well-being and healing. I deeply understand the emotional complexities that often arise during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, and use compassion to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Whether you are contemplating parenthood, hoping to conceive, just found out you are expecting, or are postpartum, I can support you in navigating the next phase of your life. **Specialties:** I deeply understand the emotional complexities that often arise during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, and use compassion to promote healing, growth, and wellness. My style is collaborative, empathetic, sincere, and validating as we cultivate a safe and trusting relationship/partnership to address areas of concern. **Credentials & Experience:** I have over a decade of experience working in a variety of settings, including Children's National Hospital in the Cardiac and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (CICU/NICU), community-based mental health, and on Labor and Delivery/Postpartum Units.

"I utilize evidence-based strategies that pair with your individual needs, specific circumstances, and unique goals while we explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. My approach is strengths-based and focuses on promoting greater authenticity, hope, and meaning by building upon your strengths and abilities to overcome challenges you may be facing."
