Anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship patterns, trauma, identity issues, infertility, pregnancy and loss, postpartum, parenting.
Life often presents difficult obstacles that can stand between who you are and who you want to be. Some obstacles may be overwhelming sadness or worry, not feeling good enough, or unhealthy patterns in your relationships.
As a therapist I aim to provide a safe and open space where my clients feel seen and understood. I assist my clients in gaining deeper awareness into the forces that are creating and maintaining the obstacles in their lives. I strive to help my clients let go of hurtful and self-defeating patterns that are keeping them stuck and develop healthier ways of being and relating to others.
I also specialize in perinatal mental health. I am passionate about supporting women in all stages of motherhood. From conception to pregnancy to postpartum to parenting, each stage brings its own unique challenges that can be disorienting and overwhelming.
I believe it’s more than a transition—it’s a transformation. At each stage there are physical, emotional, and relational shifts that not only transform your identity but also your relationship with your partner. This is a time when couples, parents-to-be, and new parents need the most support, yet often feel the most alone.
I support women and couples who are struggling with:
Infertility or difficulty conceiving
Pregnancy or infant loss
miscarriage, stillbirth, multiple losses, planned termination
Emotional distress during pregnancy and postpartum
anxiety, depression, isolation or disconnection, anger, distressing thoughts, grief, shifts in identity and body image
Relational issues between partners
Attachment and parenting struggles
