Are you carrying grief, pressure, or worry you can’t quite name, as you navigate infertility, pregnancy loss, or the changes and uncertainties of motherhood? You may feel exhausted, detached from your partner, overwhelmed by grief or guilt, or torn between hope and fear. You long to feel safe with someone who understands, to process what you’ve lost, and to rebuild intimacy; with yourself and with your partner. In our work together, I help you gently process what you’ve been through, rebuild trust internally and relationally, reconnect to your deeper purpose, and live from your authentic self again.
I specialize in reproductive and perinatal mental health, grief, and relationship stress. Through EFT, Narrative Therapy, and IFS, I help clients rebuild trust, restore intimacy, and create new stories of resilience, connection, and possibility.
If you’ve found your way here, you might be carrying more than you ever thought possible. You may feel isolated, uncertain, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to have an outlet. If you’re ready to feel heard, to find your footing again, and to take intentional steps toward a more empowered and connected life, I’m here to help you begin that journey.
