My Ideal Client

While attempting to conceive can conjure imaginings of one of the most connected experiences of your relationship, what do you do when disconnection is the reality? Sometimes, the distance in experience can make partners feel isolated from one another. Conversations that were exciting in the beginning, now feel strained and tenuous.

How I Can Help You

I am certified in both Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Perinatal Mental Health. I work to understand cycles of communication that leave you feeling disconnected and then partner with you both to find new, more connecting experiences. I may lean into your attachment histories, shared values, and humor to help foster that feeling again.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a mother, stepmother, wife, sister, daughter. I originally believed in the Hollywood version of fertility, where people became pregnant because they wanted to, or accidentally. My own journey has led me through recurrent miscarriages, genetic discoveries, and the realization that fertility journeys can be unimaginably more challenging than one might envision. It can be surprisingly lonely not knowing others who have struggled, or stigma preventing loved ones from sharing their own stories of fertility challenges.
