Specialty Areas

Mothers & Women’s Mental Health

Women face unique challenges throughout life. The journey of motherhood—whether navigating a traumatic birth, a NICU stay, or parenting a child with chronic medical needs—can feel overwhelming. I provide compassionate support to help women manage these experiences, find balance, and care for their mental health. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the identity shifts of motherhood, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we can help you find clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Anxiety and OCD

Struggling with anxiety or OCD can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you experience persistent worries, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or intense fear, these challenges can interfere with your daily life and relationships. As a therapist specializing in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to help you manage symptoms, reduce distress, and regain control. Together, we’ll develop practical tools tailored to your needs so you can live more peacefully and confidently.

As a leader, you’re driven to succeed—but personal obstacles, stress, and self-doubt can sometimes hold you back. I specialize in helping professionals in leadership roles develop the clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience needed to reach their full potential. Whether you're navigating high-stakes decisions, work-life balance, imposter syndrome, or career transitions, I provide tailored strategies to help you break through barriers and achieve your goals.
