Great to meet you!

I help my clients navigate their perinatal journey anywhere from fertility through the postpartum period so they can restore relationships, feel more connected to themselves, and focus on the things that are most important to them, their family.

My approach to therapy

Working together is like having conversations where you get to freely express your thought in a safe and warm space. I utilize trauma modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT to assist in moving through disturbing and traumatic experiences as well as education to help strengthen your relationships, build healthy expectations and move through and past overwhelming and traumatic situations.

What you can expect from me

My clients strengthen their relational bonds with their family of creation, normalize maternal mental health experiences often seen as taboo, and work through trauma in sessions with me. Clients can experience "ah ha" moments, gain the necessary strength to communicate needs, normalize the many emotions that arise during the fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum stages of family life.
