What's My Approach to Therapy?
You might be in the middle of a transition such as becoming a mother, trying to become one, grieving what hasn’t gone as planned, or realizing that the version of you that once worked no longer quite fits. You may feel anxious, emotionally overloaded, or quietly wondering why something that should feel joyful feels complicated, heavy, or lonely instead. You’re not broken, but you are responding to change.
I work primarily with women navigating life transitions, motherhood, and the often unspoken emotional terrain that comes with them. That includes anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, infertility, reproductive loss, and perinatal and postpartum mood challenges, as well as the evolving challenges of parenting across different stages of life. Many of the women I work with are capable, thoughtful, and deeply invested in doing things “right,” but are exhausted by carrying so much internally.
My style is collaborative, attuned, and grounded in therapy styles that really work. That means I’m interested not just in what you’re feeling, but how those feelings developed, what they’re protecting, and what they’re trying to tell us. I don’t see symptoms as problems to eliminate as quickly as possible; I see them as meaningful signals that deserve careful listening. When helpful, I integrate cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support both insight and practical change.
I bring extensive experience in early childhood mental health, trauma-informed care, and family systems. This tends to show up as questions about how we were cared for, and how that influences how we care for others now. Therapy with me is a steady, reflective space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or hold it all together. Together, we notice patterns, build insight, and develop greater confidence in navigating life’s demands, so you can feel more connected to yourself and less alone in the process.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly unsure of who you’re becoming in this season of life, you don’t have to sort it out on your own. We can slow things down and make sense of it together.
My Practice & Services
I’m part of Branch Lane Psychotherapy, a group practice grounded in thoughtful, relationship-based care. Our practice was built with the belief that therapy works best when it’s human, collaborative, and responsive to the real complexity of people’s lives. We are not a practice with symptom checklists and not a one-size-fits-all approach.
At Branch Lane, we value depth, curiosity, and attunement. Our clinicians bring diverse training backgrounds while sharing a commitment to reflective, ethical, and compassionate work. We take time to match clients with clinicians who are a good fit, because we know that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to meaningful change (no pressure, but it really is the engine).
Our practice is intentional about pacing, boundaries, and care for both clients and clinicians. Therapy here is meant to feel steady, thoughtful, and respectful of your time, energy, and emotional world. If you’re looking for a practice that values depth, nuance, and genuine human connection, you’re in the right place.
What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
It's completely normal to feel hesitant about starting therapy, specially if you've tried before and felt unheard, misunderstood, or like you had to manage the process on your own. Many people come to us wondering whether therapy will actually help, whether their concerns are "big enough," or whether anyone can really understand what they're experiencing. We want you to know that those concerns are welcome here.
At Branch Lane Psychotherapy, we believe healing happens through being deeply listened to, not hurried or fixed. Our clinicians are consistent, reliable, and emotionally present. We show up, we remember what matters to you, and we take your inner world seriously. Therapy with us is collaborative, trauma-informed, and relationship-based, designed to help you feel safe enough to explore what hasn't had space elsewhere.
You don't need to know exactly what to say, where to start, or how therapy is "supposed" to work. We move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable, with clear boundaries, thoughtful structure, and steady care. Over time, this consistency allows trust to build, insight to deepen, and real change to take hold. It's not just symptom relief, but a greater sense of clarity, connection, and confidence in your life.
Our goal is not simply to help you cope, but to help you understand yourself more fully, feel more grounded in your relationships, and experience meaningful, lasting change.
