Becoming a parent is a profound transition.

It can feel joyful, overwhelming, and everything in between. This season invites deep reflection—on who we are becoming, how our relationships and roles are shifting, and how our own experiences of being cared for shape the way we care for our children.

Do you ever find yourself...

​​​

◦ Wondering if what you’re feeling might be postpartum depression or anxiety?

◦ Needing space to process a difficult birth or NICU experience?

◦ Hoping to understand your own childhood and create new patterns for your family?

◦ Longing to reconnect with yourself and make sense of your identity as a parent?

◦ Wishing for a place to talk openly about the joys and challenges of parenthood?

Whichever passage you are navigating, I am here to come alongside you and provide compassionate support.

I provide specialized mental health support for parents and caregivers who are expectant or parenting children up to age five. I serve the Snoqualmie Valley and Seattle Eastside with in-person sessions in downtown Carnation, and offer telehealth services across Washington State.
