I am a certified perinatal specialist focused on maternal and paternal mental health concerns at all stages of the parenting journey. From the decision to become parents, to coping with miscarriage or infertility concerns, I am interested in helping people at all stages create their own versions of realistic parenting in today’s society. I work with couples seeking relationship therapy that centers on perinatal/postnatal or parenting concerns. I also work with parents of adult children regarding their relationships or if estrangement has occurred.
I work well in the intersections of gender and sexuality. I work with individuals of all relationship orientations. I am deeply curious about how the cultural, social, and familial stories we are told and tell ourselves shape who we tell ourselves we “should” be. I enjoy helping clients find compassionate ways of finding the change they want.
I help clients to find more mindful, flexible, and value-aligned ways of living for themselves and their relationships. If you are looking for active, change-oriented therapy to explore the relationships you have with yourself, partners, or children of all ages, please call me. I look forward to the journey we will take together.
