Great to meet you!

With over a decade of experience in healthcare and community settings, I support individuals and families through the emotional side of building and growing a family. Whether you’re navigating loss, infertility, pregnancy or postpartum changes, or the unexpected turns of adoption or surrogacy, my focus is on creating space for healing and hope. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, supported, and able to be present in your life and relationships during this season.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm and empathic, welcoming your whole self into the work. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to help you feel more grounded and supported through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and other reproductive transitions. Together, we’ll weave in mindfulness and self-care practices to strengthen your inner resources and support you along your journey.

What you can expect from me

Our first session moves at a comfortable pace. We’ll talk about what feels most pressing, touch on your story, and begin shaping a plan for support that centers your goals. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, steadier, and clearer about next steps.
