Most of my clients are working through significant life transitions, including: perinatal mental health concerns, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression, or family relational conflict. I specialize in perinatal mental health, offering support to parents and families as they navigate the transition to parenting, their fertility journey, pregnancy, losses, birth, the postpartum period, and beyond.
Specialties
I specialize in work with parents, women, and families experiencing perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, in transitioning to parenthood, processing birth and trauma, pregnancy losses, and in healing during pregnancy and in the years following a new baby. I have completed certificate training as a Perinatal Mental Health provider. Infants and young children are welcome in sessions.
I believe that problems are best solved through the strength and assistance of family and loved ones. I believe in the resiliency of families. I believe that families can obtain skills to function differently, and to decrease problematic interactions and behaviors. People can change their lives and improve their relationships, regardless of their past, present, or future circumstances.
Loss, change, and transition is a natural and deeply painful part of being human. I will provide a space to support you as you grieve, seek to understand, process, and heal. I believe in your resiliency and strength. You do not have to face this alone. I can help.
Anxiety can take many forms, and effects everyone in different ways. Anxiety can be overwhelming and debilitating. I offer a non-judgmental space where we can work together to address anxiety, and develop tools to help. I am a warm, competent, energetic practitioner and will work to help you feel at ease.
