As a therapist and “scrunchy” mom of two, I am passionate about working with new mothers during the prenatal and postpartum periods to increase their joy in motherhood and address any roadblocks to their desired attachment with their baby. I understand that this journey can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.

My goal is to work collaboratively with you, offering a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and develop strategies for healing. Together, we can pave the way to a brighter, more fulfilling postpartum experience. You deserve the support you need, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

I bring a compassionate listening ear and a wealth of experience in the therapeutic modalities of EMDR and CBT to every therapeutic relationship. I specialize in birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, and parenting stress.

I am a 2012 graduate of Notre Dame and a 2016 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work. I am an avid runner, dog lover, and sports fan. I am a volunteer and member of Postpartum Support – International.
