Becoming a mother can bring a kind of loneliness no one warns you about. Maybe pregnancy is not feeling the way you expected, the postpartum weeks have left you anxious or numb, or you are quietly grieving who you were before. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with over 20 years of experience, and supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood is my passion. I also work with children, teens, adults, and families. Certified in Mind-Body Medicine, I treat emotional and physical well-being as connected, never separate.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, unsure why things feel harder than they used to. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down at night, your mood shifts more than you’d like, or daily responsibilities feel heavier than before. You might feel frustrated trying to manage it all on your own, wondering if things will ever feel easier.

At Journi Alignment Mental Health, I help adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders move toward emotional balance through personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support, offered via telehealth or in an outpatient clinic setting.

When you meet with me, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your concerns are heard without judgment. I take time to listen and understand your story, symptoms, and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that may include thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to help you feel more stable and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, you are always part of the decision-making process.

Over time, many clients begin to feel more balanced, more rested, and more in control of their emotions and routines. Imagine sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having the energy to reconnect with the people and activities that matter most. My goal is to help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward in your mental health journey.

My goal is to earn your trust, it is never the other way around. Let’s journey together in having you rediscover self-compassion, empowerment, and inner strength.
