Being a parent is hard and you don’t have to do it alone! The journey of pregnancy through motherhood can be joyous, overwhelming, fun and draining; it is emotionally and physically exhausting and everyone needs help or support at times. Are you experiencing infertility , pregnancy loss or complications, a NICU stay, or postpartum mood and anxiety disorders? Focusing on your own needs and healing for a short time each week can help improve your ability to care for yourself, your children and family.

Often it can feel like everyone is doing better than you are. You may be looking around, comparing yourself to others and wonder, “Why am I not as happy as everyone else? What am I doing wrong? Is there someone to blame? Am I to blame? Am I not good enough? Is my body broken, my mind, or my heart?” In my practice I specialize in working with people who often find that no matter how hard they try, they feel like they are never good enough. This may be during a break up, job transition, infertility , during the changes of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, or even during traumatic grief and loss.

I find my strengths are working with women in all stages of life: college women, career women, new mothers, career mothers, women battling infertility , women going through divorce, and women suffering from low self esteem. My compassion, open mindedness, and solution focused approach creates a setting of hope, positive change, and trustworthy rapport.

I specialize in reproductive counseling and enjoy supporting individuals anywhere on the reproductive spectrum: family planning, infertility , pregnancy and infant loss, pregnancy and postpartum, and early childhood parenting. I recognize each person's reproductive experience is unique and comes with physical, relational, and emotional challenges that can be overwhelming to navigate alone. As a clinician I seek to create an atmosphere of safety and trust that allows you to show up as you are. Common themes in my work include: transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, loneliness, and perfectionism.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by sadness, anxiety, loss, or regrets? Do you feel stuck and unsure where to go from here? Well, you have found a safe place. Whether you struggle with depression and anxiety, painful relationship dynamics, a traumatic past, or simply feel lost, please know that you are not alone. I have dedicated the last 15 years to helping women heal and transform their lives, and I would be honored to help you too.

My practice focuses mainly on topics surrounding relationship difficulties, depression/anxiety, sexual problems, and infertility . I work with male and female clients equally and work with all couple types. I believe you are the expert on your background, experiences, values, and goals. The therapeutic relationship relies on honesty, mutual respect, sharing, and openness. Making a connection is vital to the process. My ultimate goal is to help you define and attain the goals you want in life, and direct you on a healthy path to achieve them.

Collaborating with you to discover and cultivate a life that feels fulfilling and worthwhile, which typically means leaning in to what scares you, is what I do best.

Together, we will strive to establish an empowering and supportive therapeutic environment that will propel you along in personally meaningful directions.

My goal is to provide support throughout the pregnancy journey, including pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, NICU support, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I am also skilled in helping parents manage challenges including sleep issues and tantrums.

You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility , or postpartum depression or anxiety.

Life and relationship challenges usually need more than talk to get through successfully. This is why I specialize in approaches where mind and body work together. Providing healing experiences in therapy, I work collaboratively with you to find ways to change and grow that work for your unique situation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I've had the master's level training of individual counselors, in addition to training focused on the 'systems' of relationships. I am also PACT and EMDR trained therapist; I have additional training in sexual issues, chronic illness and infertility .

My clients are individuals, couples or families who want to improve their emotional wellness. They might be going through a challenging period in their life, may struggle with interpersonal relationships, conflict at work, or they may be looking to improve their marital or family dynamics.

Accepting New Clients NOW - I believe in being honest, transparent, and real. I believe we are all doing the absolute best we can with what we have AND we can always be doing better. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I’m here to be a guide. I have a passion for working with young adults, especially millennials, and women of color.

I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.
