At NICU Mama Therapy, I am dedicated to providing individual therapy to mamas who are struggling with a current or past NICU stay, birth trauma, postpartum PTSD, depression, and/or anxiety.

You are not alone. With experience in a variety of evidence-based modalities, including CBT and mindfulness practices, I help mamas overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also teach different skills and coping tools to help you stay present for yourself and your baby. NICU and birth trauma can be lifelong and so learning how to care for your heart and mind are crucial to your healing.
I am a proud NICU mama. My water broke at 29 weeks and 2 days, and within 9 hours my twins were born, each just over 2lbs. The next few months were full of grief, fear, guilt, and unwavering love. I was desperate to find mental health support and continued to run into dead ends. Once I began to heal, I knew I wanted to offer the support I had needed but couldn't find. I have been there with you.
I'm a developmental psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, and proud NICU mama of 29-weeker twins practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have over 15 years of experience working with children and caregivers as they navigate stress, trauma, and mental health crises. I also have expertise in attachment theory, social and cognitive development, and child mental health.
I’m passionate about supporting other mamas. And I have a window into your experience—I'm here to support you from hospital admission to your journey home. My practice is solely focused on mamas who have experienced NICU stays and/or birth trauma, and helping you bond with your baby, overcome anxiety, navigate loss and grief, and develop self-empathy and compassion.
Let's see if we're a good fit! I offer all new clients a complimentary 15-minute consultation so I can learn more about your story, and how we can work together to help you process and heal.
