Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.

I would not be the parent I am today without therapy. I consider myself an imperfect mother committed to shifting intergenerational patterns. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.

You have a unique story and I’m here to listen. My intentions for your sessions are for you to feel seen and heard, grounded and resourced. You’ll gain tools and insights to support you wherever you are on your parenthood journey. I’m currently accepting new clients with no wait times–reach out today to schedule a consult.
