My own experiences with finding support during tough times inspired me to become a counselor. Life can be incredibly challenging, and many events are beyond our control, leading to feelings of helplessness.

I’m particularly passionate about perinatal mental health, stemming from my own experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety. I’ve seen a significant need for compassionate, accessible care during conception, pregnancy, and postpartum. My goal is to help you navigate these transitions with kindness, non-judgment, and genuine support.
