Many of the clients I work with appear high-functioning externally while experiencing significant internal distress. They often present with chronic anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, depression, or persistent grief related to infertility, pregnancy loss, or complex family-building decisions. These clients have typically maintained responsibilities for long periods while their nervous system remains in a heightened state of stress. They seek therapy to improve emotional regulation, reduce trauma responses, increase clarity, and develop sustainable coping strategies that support long-term psychological stability and functioning.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, women’s health, and reproductive mental health, including infertility, pregnancy loss, surrogacy, and third-party reproduction. I offer a compassionate, informed, trauma-aware approach using CBT, DBT, and CPT to help clients feel grounded, supported, and empowered.
Reaching out for support takes courage, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own. Whether you’re processing trauma, navigating infertility or reproductive decisions, or feeling worn down by life, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel supported and move forward at your own pace.
