Infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, can feel like constant waiting, spiraling thoughts, and over-googling every symptom or milestone. Life feels out of control, and even when things look “fine” on the outside, your body and mind are on high alert. You may miss who you used to be, grieve quietly for the life or family you imagined, or feel exhausted, anxious, and isolated in ways no one else sees. Everyday moments can feel heavy, overwhelming, and unrelenting.

Together, we make space for grief, uncertainty, and identity shifts accompanying infertility and postpartum. My pace honors your nervous system, helping you process what’s been lost while gently rebuilding a sense of safety, meaning, and self-trust. You’ll feel more grounded, less consumed by worry, more connected to purpose, and more present in your life.

Having a therapist you connect with is the most important ingredient. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if that's me. If not, I will do my best to connect you to someone who may be. I offer online therapy in Miami, Florida, Michigan, NYC, and most states. I am ready when you are.
