About Me.

"I am not here to sway you or make decisions for you. I am here to support you, encourage you, walk by you while you forge your own path. You know what's best for you."

I am a mental health therapist in Maryland and Vermont, specializing in perinatal mental health. Not only have I done extensive training to have the evidenced based knowledge to work with pregnant and postpartum parents, but I struggled immensely with postpartum anxiety. I know first hand the shame and stigma of not feeling like a "good enough" mom. 

​

Along with perinatal mental health, I am also an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights and after abortion mental health care. Every person deserves evidenced-based, nonjudgemental and safe space to choose what is best for YOU. Along with being a therapist, I am also the Chief Engagement Officer at Pro-Choice Therapists. This is an organization dedicated to connecting people with pro-choice therapists and empowering therapists with tools and knowledge.

My Approach.

I have a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University New England, and am a Maryland perinatal therapist (LGP11406). I am also licensed in Vermont (068.0134714TELE). I also have my PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification). Take a look at my speciality trainings below!

You may be looking for a therapist to support you during pregnancy or postpartum. I see you! You often hear that this is the happiest time of your life AND it's so stressful. You are not failing if you are feeling angry, sad, lonely, overwhelmed and exhausted. We will explore your strengths, talk about and implement new behaviors and actions and process past trauma and loss. 

If you are experiencing an unintended pregnancy, you are likely exploring your options. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here for you. You can expect a nonjudgemental and supportive space to explore on your terms. We can discuss the three options of parenting, abortion and adoption. Each of these are equal options and might come with big feelings. ​

I am an eclectic therapist, and don't believe that one size fits all. You are unique, special and resilient. I can't wait to walk with you on your journey!
