Great to meet you!

Many women and couples going through infertility, miscarriage, or infant loss feel isolated, emotionally exhausted, and unsure how to talk about what they’re carrying. I provide a supportive space where you can be honest about the grief, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, or uncertainty that often comes with these experiences, without feeling judged or rushed to “move on.”

My approach to therapy

My work focuses on helping women and families navigate infertility and pregnancy loss while staying connected to themselves and the people around them. Together, we can process difficult emotions, work through the ups and downs of treatment or loss, improve communication with partners and loved ones, and find ways to cope during an incredibly painful and uncertain time.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel hard, especially when you’re already overwhelmed. You don’t have to have the right words or know exactly what you need before reaching out. Whether you’re in the middle of infertility treatment, grieving a loss, or trying to find your footing again, I’m here to support you through it.
