When life is defined by expectations, pressure, or major decisions, it can be really hard to feel present or in control. I support individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, infertility, illness, parenting after fertility treatment, and life transitions. You can speak freely here—without judgment, pressure, or fear that you’ve said the wrong thing. I offer a compassionate, grounded space for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, parenting, employment demands, or the weight of life not going as planned.
As a young breast cancer survivor, I bring personal and professional insight into egg donation, surrogacy, parenting after third-party reproduction, and chronic illness. I also specialize in justice sensitivity in adults and children, supporting those who experience injustice & fairness deeply across social, political, and relational contexts.
I have 27 years experience working with children & families with focus on parenting and parent coaching. Whether you’re seeking short or longer term work, we’ll work together to move through what’s hard and reconnect with what feels steady. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and all who need a safe space to breathe, reflect, and reset. Virtual sessions available.
