You're navigating fertility treatments, pregnancy after loss, or postpartum challenges—and you need more than clinical advice. You want a therapist who truly understands the unique emotional weight of reproductive experiences. Maybe you're managing IVF cycles while maintaining your career, processing a devastating loss while everyone asks "when are you having kids?", or feeling isolated in postpartum anxiety despite doing "everything right." You need someone who gets it—the grief, the hope, the exhaustion, the complexity. You're ready to process these experiences with a specialist who creates space for all of it.

You've been poked, prodded, and told your labs are normal. Maybe a doctor has suggested it's anxiety, or that you just need to push through. But you know your body and something is wrong. Living with a chronic illness is exhausting enough on its own. Doing it while feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or alone makes it so much harder. That's exactly why I do this work. I specialize in therapy for teens, young adults, and adults living with chronic illness — conditions like POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, migraine, chronic pain, and fatigue syndromes. My clients are not imagining their symptoms. They're carrying something real and heavy

Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old patterns in our relationships without understanding why. If that sounds familiar—or if you simply feel a pull to better understand yourself—therapy can help you make sense of it. I work with adults from many different backgrounds, supporting people through everything from major life transitions and everyday stress to complex mental health concerns. My earlier career included extensive experience with children, families, and schools, which continues to inform my understanding of development, relationships, and the ways early experiences shape adult life.

I work with children and adults, offering developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed counseling.
