I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Arizona, a perinatal therapist, and a mother of two. I provide trauma-informed therapy for pregnancy anxiety, postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, NICU trauma, fertility challenges, and perinatal grief. With advanced training in EMDR and trauma-focused treatment, I help parents and parents-to-be find relief, clarity, and support during some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

My clinical foundation comes from more than a decade in high-acuity medical settings, including Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns and the Level IV NICU at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. I have supported families through pregnancy complications, emergency deliveries, traumatic births, infant loss, and postpartum mental health concerns. These experiences continue to shape how I show up for clients with steadiness and compassion.

I also serve as a visiting instructor for The New Mom School, where I teach about perinatal mental health, PMADs, and coping strategies for new and expecting parents.

My own pregnancies further deepened my understanding of what it means to move through challenges in pregnancy and postpartum. I experienced hyperemesis, medical uncertainty, traumatic deliveries, and postpartum preeclampsia. Living through what I once supported others through allows me to sit with clients in a more grounded and attuned way.

My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, culturally informed, and deeply validating. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped as you move through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or parenting after trauma.
