I'm so glad you're here.

If you've found your way to this page, you may be carrying a heavy mental load. Whether you're expecting a baby, navigating postpartum, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm honored that you considered me to be part of your journey.

At this time, I am taking an extended leave to focus on my own growing family. Because of this, I am not accepting new therapy clients, and I do not have an anticipated return date.

As a therapist, I deeply believe that healing shouldn't be delayed. If you're ready to begin therapy, I encourage you to connect with another trusted mental health professional rather than waiting for my practice to reopen. You deserve support now.

If you're looking for a therapist, these resources can help you find someone who is a good fit for your needs: 

• Psychology Today – Search by location, specialty, insurance, and therapy approach.

• TherapyDen – A directory focused on helping you find therapists who align with your unique needs and values.

• Mental Health Match – Complete a brief questionnaire and receive therapist matches based on your preferences.

• Postpartum Support International (PSI) – An excellent resource for those experiencing pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, or parenting-related mental health concerns. PSI also offers support groups and a directory of therapists with specialized training in perinatal mental health.

• Your insurance provider's directory to locate in-network therapists.

• Your primary care provider or OB/GYN, who may also have trusted local referrals.

If you're navigating motherhood and need encouragement while you search for a therapist, you don't have to do it alone. Consider exploring:

• Local postpartum or new mom support groups

• Faith-based women's groups or church communities (if this aligns with your beliefs)

• Parent education programs and community organizations

• Trusted friends or family members who can offer practical and emotional support

Healing often happens in community.

In Case of a Mental Health Emergency

If you are experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, or you're in immediate emotional distress, please seek help right away.

• Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

• Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department if you are in immediate danger.

• If available in your area, contact your local mobile crisis response team for urgent mental health support.

Thank you for visiting my practice.

It has been a privilege to walk alongside women and families during some of life's most vulnerable seasons. While I'm taking this time away, my hope is that you find a therapist who provides the compassion, safety, and support you deserve.

Wherever you are in your journey, remember this:

You were never meant to carry motherhood or life's challenges alone. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it's an act of courage and care for yourself and those you love.

I wish you peace, hope, and healing as you take your next step.
