At some point, we all experience changes that are difficult to navigate. They throw us off balance and everything can seem more confusing, upsetting, and overwhelming. These moments often signal a need for support, space to process, and gentle healing. I work with individuals who are feeling dissatisfied or disconnected in their relationships, coping with the loss of a loved one, or struggling to adjust to significant life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals navigating infertility/IVF, pregnancy loss, and the emotional complexities of motherhood—experiences that can feel deeply isolating.

Sometimes life makes it feel like there are limited options, and our feelings can be overwhelming. However, in the face of pain and suffering, we have the power to choose how to engage with these hardships. There is freedom to choose our responses, and moving forward with committed action is empowering. We would be happy to collaborate with you in the therapeutic process, to explore feelings, learning coping skills, and maintain healthy responses. In life we may feel content being still, making lateral moves, or at times pivoting. As we navigate your views of self, thriving, living we can face carpe diem, seize the day.

People often seek support when stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the pressures of success leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. The stories we tell ourselves, the meanings we assign to our experiences, and the ways we interpret life’s challenges can shape how we respond—and whether we move forward or remain stuck. Dr. Rogers helps individuals understand how their personal narratives, personality preferences, and life experiences influence how they experience stress, navigate relationships, and respond to challenges.
