Have you been struggling with the anxiety, depression, and heartache of infertility, finding it difficult to relate to others, feeling isolated, even in the company of friends? Has this impacted your relationships, daily life, or how you show up, and connect with others?
You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, and, wondering if you will ever become a parent, how you'll make it through another baby shower with a smile, or dreading another Mother's Day while your heart is breaking. Those navigating the long and often painful path of infertility frequently feel invisible, isolated, and misunderstood, even with great support.

Email is best, not calls! I work most often with anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal relationships, life changes, work-related stress, and chronic pain. I take a very practical approach to helping you find peace and healing with your struggles. This is a safe, non-judgmental place to receive validation, support, feedback, and proactive help. Email is best to reach me, not phone, as phone calls disturb sessions and I don't have office staff to help me respond in a timely fashion.

Hello. I'm a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience specializing in trauma, attachment and relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who come to therapy stuck in certain patterns even after a great deal of self reflection and personal work. Over the years I’ve learned that feeling stuck usually makes sense in the context of what someone has been through. Often the issue isn’t a lack of insight—it's that the emotional roots of the pattern that haven’t been fully processed.

Accepting New Client- Our brains are pre-programmed to try almost anything to maximize our chances of getting our needs met. Sometimes, our brain tries to meet these needs for safety, peace, and connection in ways that don’t seem to work like they used to. If something feels slightly out of sync - I want to hear about it. If the wheels have come off completely, and everything feels like chaos - I want to hear about it. You deserve support and expertise as you let go of the things that used to work and open up to new solutions and perspectives. Whether this is exhilarating or terrifying, just know you don't have to do this alone.
