I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, and the heart behind Braving Motherhood: Counseling & Wellness.

With specialized training in maternal mental health and years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, I am deeply passionate about walking alongside clients through the profound transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, loss, and early parenting.

My passion for this work began long before I became a therapist. For over a decade, I served as a child life specialist in the pediatric emergency department and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), supporting families through some of their most vulnerable and tender moments in the hospital. These early experiences shaped my belief that emotional support is just as vital as medical care—especially in the perinatal period.

Whether you’re facing a high-risk pregnancy, NICU stay, birth trauma, fertility challenges, or the everyday overwhelm of new parenthood, I offer a space where your story is honored and your resilience is recognized. In therapy, I integrate a trauma-informed, relational approach with deep empathy and clinical expertise. I work with individuals and couples to help them process their experiences, reconnect with themselves and their partners, and navigate life’s transitions with greater confidence and compassion.

Outside the therapy room, my life is a blend of motherhood, meaning, and messiness. I’m in it, too—learning to be present, letting go of perfection, and holding space for myself as I do for my clients. Whether I’m soothing a fussy baby at 3 a.m. in the glow of a nightlight or catching a sunset during a stroller-and-dog walk at the end of the day, I carry the same intention I bring to therapy: curiosity, compassion, and care.
