My Ideal Client
I work with everyone along the perinatal spectrum from those trying to conceive to those in the throws of child rearing. Additionally, I specialize in perinatal loss, fertility challenges, birth trauma, or are going through infertility treatment. The stress and pain that accompanies these experiences can be staggering and those in your life may not be able to fully understand what you are going through, so therapy can be an important support during these times to allow yourself to fully process.

Pregnancy (Prenatal Mental Health)
The time surrounding the process of trying to conceive, infertility, loss, birth trauma, pregnancy, and postpartum can be overwhelming and challenge our resiliency, beliefs, and mental health. Learning to navigate our day to day lives while additionally holding the demands and stress of these times can further add to feelings of overwhelm, grief, isolation, or anxiety. I am familiar with and understand these experiences and will help you to cope with and transition through these experiences.
-
Loss or Grief
Experiencing pregnancy loss is a devastating and isolating experience. I have seen many women grieve and bear this burden quietly, but the experience of your journey and story should be seen and held. Miscarriages are estimated to occur in 10-15% of early pregnancies and it is a personal passion of mine to normalize the experience of discussing pregnancy loss and create space for women to fully feel and process their grief.
-
Infertility
The experience of infertility is too often a process that is endured quietly. However the grief and pain that accompanies infertility is significant and needs a space to be held, validated, nurtured, and seen. It is my hope that people do not endure this process independently and seek extra support in the wake of this experience.
