I focus on anxiety, depression, self-compassion, grief, and I love supporting individuals/couples through life transitions. I have a passion for helping new and hopeful parents navigate the family-building process, (be it pregnancy, postpartum mental health, child/pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, guardianship/foster care, and the baby/toddler years). Non-traditional family structures are warmly welcome here! My background in early childhood development and parent/child relationships gives me a unique perspective and the ability to support those struggling through the adjustment period of creating a family.
Whether you're overwhelmed, judging yourself or feeling judged, grieving the life you expected to have, battling mom-guilt or mom-rage (so real and so common!), struggling to navigate your emerging identity (i.e., gender/sexuality/new parenthood/young adulthood), or striving to process and break patterns of generational trauma—there's no need to do it alone!
I understand the vulnerability it takes to reach out for help. In our sessions together, I will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space, work with you collaboratively, interject humor, challenge your assumptions, respect you as the expert in your own life, provide feedback and guidance when asked, and offer an empathetic ear when not. Please reach out!
