At Sanamora, I specialize in perinatal mental health, children’s services, and infant mental health. I am non-judgmental, supportive of diverse sexual orientations and lifestyles, and affirming of alternative relationships. My dedication lies in supporting parents, children, and families with compassion and without bias, guiding you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
At Sanamora, I love working with women and am passionate about supporting them through the unique challenges they face. I understand that being a woman in the modern world—carrying the weight of societal conditioning and the overwhelming expectations placed on us by others and ourselves—can be a lot to navigate. I invite my clients to explore where these expectations come from and how they impact their lives.
I also have a deep passion for perinatal mental health, helping women navigate the journey of motherhood, from infertility, conception, and pregnancy to the unexpected challenges of new motherhood, such as postpartum depression and the grief that comes when things don't go as planned. Whether it's the joy and hardship of this transition or the struggle of feeling unsupported, I am here to guide women through it.
If you are queer and identify as a woman, I welcome you to explore these experiences in a safe and inclusive space. I recognize the unique challenges and intersections of identity that come with being both queer and a woman in today's world.
At Sanamora, I am dedicated to addressing the unique emotional and developmental needs of adolescent girls and gender-expansive teens. This is a critical time in their lives, filled with challenges around identity, self-esteem, and emotional growth. I provide a safe, supportive space where they can explore these issues, navigate the complexities of growing up, and build resilience.
My goal is to help them develop healthy coping strategies, foster a strong sense of self, and encourage open, honest communication during this transformative period. I am committed to empowering young people as they step into their authentic selves.
Marginalized populations need to be seen, heard, and valued. When I say that you are the expert in your own life, I truly mean it. I encourage you to share your stories and identities, affirming that I will accept you wholeheartedly and meet you where you are.
I am dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space where you feel understood and supported. I see you, hear you, and value your unique experiences, believing that each person’s journey is worthy of recognition and respect. In my practice, I strive to empower marginalized voices, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and embrace their authentic selves.
My therapy intensives offer couples and individuals a unique opportunity for deep, focused immersion, enabling them to tackle challenges more effectively and efficiently. Whether I am working with couples to strengthen their relationships through intensives or helping individuals prepare for the transition into parenthood with postpartum planning, this concentrated approach allows for faster breakthroughs, greater insight, and accelerated healing.
By dedicating extended time to these important issues, I create a supportive environment where clients can experience significant progress in a shorter period, making therapy intensives a powerful option for those seeking transformative results.
Being person-centered means I practice the modality that works best for you. I am transparent and direct because our relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. Together, we can conquer fear, triumph over self-doubt, annihilate anxiety, and rise above depression.
My focus is simple, you. During our sessions, I strive to create a space where you can openly talk about yourself, free from judgment and expectation. Together, we will identify your needs, wants, capacities, and limitations, guiding you toward a deeper understanding of your truest self.
My promise to myself and my clients is to be honest and authentic above all else. I am committed to creating a safe space where you can be your truest self. Together, we will explore your journey to authenticity, and I will support you in being honest about your needs and the needs of those you love.
The journey through pain and discomfort is hard, the reward is beautiful to watch. We will stand with you, hold space for you, and celebrate your wins.
