Navigating family-building can be hard, particularly when faced with fertility complications, medical interventions, or pregnancy loss. These experiences may deeply impact your self-esteem and cause a strain in your relationships, often eliciting feelings of shame, anxiety, grief, and resentment. While these emotional responses are common and understandable, they can be hard to cope with and may lead to isolation and disconnection. I offer support and guidance to individuals and couples as they navigate these complex circumstances.
My approach is strength-based and culturally sensitive and rooted in deep empathy for the often unseen pain associated with these experiences. With specialized training in anxiety disorders and perinatal mental health, I tailor interventions to your unique needs, cultural background, and personal goals.
Whether you are undergoing treatment, recovering from loss, or considering your next steps, I offer a supportive space to process your experiences and discover a path forward. I welcome individuals and couples of all genders, sexual orientations, and family-building journeys, including LGBTQIA+ clients and single parents by choice.

Groups
Break up to breakthrough
Breakup to Breakthrough is an 8 week group designed to support you in moving through the pain of heartbreak and into a place of deeper healing and self-discovery. This group is more than just a space to vent, it is a place to rebuild. Together, we’ll process grief, challenge patterns like emotional self-harm, strengthen your sense of identity, and explore what healthy love looks like including the relationship you have with yourself. Each week, you’ll engage in meaningful conversations, learn coping skills, complete reflective activities, and gain insight into your past relationship dynamics in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
