You're trying to get pregnant, stay pregnant, or adjust after birth — and your nervous system is exhausted. Waiting between cycles, navigating IVF, or living after loss brings grief, anger, and a constant monitoring of your body you can't turn off. In the postpartum months, sleep disruption, intrusive thoughts, feeding decisions, and partner strain leave you feeling alone or unsure of yourself. You might be an LGBTQ+ family navigating donor conception or queer pregnancy. Or a parent in the thick of it, wondering who you are now that everything has changed.
I'm a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) with 20+ years of experience and my own history with infertility and parenthood. I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders, LGBTQ+ family formation, fertility and loss, and parenting. I also offer educational consultation and IEP support.
I'm warm, direct, and practical — I won't just sit with you in the hard stuff, I'll help you find a way through it. I get back to everyone within 24 hours. And if I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is.

Fertility, loss, postpartum, LGBTQ family building, parenting — I work across the whole arc. I've been through a lot of this myself, which changes how I show up for it. I'm practical by nature: we'll figure out what's actually hard and find real ways to make daily life feel more manageable.

The first few sessions are about figuring out what's actually going on and what you need — not fitting you into a predetermined approach. I draw from CBT, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. The goal is always strategies that work outside the therapy room, not just in it.
