You’re capable, accomplished, and have done a lot ‘right’ in life—yet something still feels off. Anxiety lingers, old emotional wounds resurface, or your relationship feels stuck despite effort and care. Outwardly you may function well, yet inside you feel disconnected—from yourself or your partner. You’re seeking deeper healing, not just coping—clarity, trust in yourself, and a more grounded, connected way of living and relating.

A lot of my work is with people who are used to holding a lot. Maybe you’re a high achiever, the dependable one, or someone who’s spent years doing what you’re “supposed” to do - but lately you’re exhausted, anxious, burned out, or noticing your body carrying the stress too. I also work with parents who are finding that parenthood looks a whole lot different than the blissful version we’re sold in Pampers commercials. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and work through the stuff that’s been hanging around for a long time.

So many women arrive at therapy feeling like they've lost themselves. New moms blindsided by the emotional weight of postpartum anxiety or depression.

I work with women, moms, and teens around maternal mental health, postpartum anxiety and depression, life transitions, and anxiety, using a mindfulness and nature inspired approach to help you reconnect with your own strength.

Many parents reach out because they see their child struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, school stress, or family changes such as divorce or conflict. Your child may shut down, act out, or feel overwhelmed and not know how to express what they are feeling. As a parent, you want to understand what is happening and help your child feel calmer, more confident, and supported while strengthening your connection as a family. I often work with children who struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and family transitions.

When we start working together, we’ll take time to really understand what’s been weighing on you, what keeps getting in the way and what you’re hoping for in your life. From there, we’ll create a plan that feels clear, doable and genuinely supportive. I pay close attention to the survival strategies you’ve built over time—often ones that once protected you but now feel limiting—and we’ll work together to gently shift the patterns that no longer serve you.
My approach is relational, warm and grounded in trauma-informed and somatic work. So instead of staying only in conversation, we’ll slow down and notice what’s happening inside

FAQ - Miscarriage Counseling
How do I know if I need therapy after pregnancy loss?
Pregnancy loss can bring intense emotional and physical changes. While there is no “right” way to feel afterward, many people experience deep sadness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or numbness. These reactions are common, especially in the days and weeks after a loss. However, if these feelings begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, sleep, work, or your ability to care for yourself, therapy may be helpful. Therapy may also be a good next step if you feel stuck in guilt or self-blame, or if your grief feels overwhelming or prolonged. Most importantly, you do not have to wait for symptoms to feel severe to seek help. Therapy can provide support at any point after pregnancy loss and may also help with related concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or fear about a future pregnancy.
How can therapy help after miscarriage?
Therapy can offer a supportive space to process the grief, shock, anger, guilt, or numbness that may follow a miscarriage. A therapist can help validate the loss, support you in coping with painful reminders or memories, and reduce self-blame. Miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss can also increase the risk of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A therapist can help you understand your symptoms and provide targeted support based on what you are experiencing. Pregnancy loss can also affect relationships. Partners may grieve differently, which can lead to misunderstanding, emotional distance, or conflict. Therapy can help individuals or couples communicate more openly, understand each other’s reactions, and support each other through the loss.
What therapeutic approaches are used for pregnancy loss?
The best therapeutic approach depends on what the person is struggling with most. If trauma symptoms are a major concern, approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) may help people process distressing memories connected to the loss. If intrusive thoughts, guilt, or anxiety are the main concern, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help people identify painful thought patterns and develop coping strategies to manage them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help people make space for painful emotions while reconnecting with their values.
Can couples therapy help after a pregnancy loss?
Couples therapy can be very helpful after pregnancy loss. Partners may experience the same loss in different ways; for instance, one person may want to talk about it often, while the other may cope by trying to move forward. These differences can create tension in a relationship, even when both people are grieving. A couples therapist can help partners better understand each other’s responses, communicate needs more clearly, and discuss next steps after the loss. This may include conversations about emotional support, intimacy, family boundaries, medical decisions, or whether and when to try for another pregnancy.
