Infertility. Grief. Trauma. Body image spirals you can’t quite name out loud. Relationship strain that makes you feel like a stranger in your own life. These aren’t just “hard seasons”\u2014they can leave you heartbroken, disconnected, and genuinely unsure who’s safe to tell the truth to.<\/p>

I work with women and couples moving through the messiest, most emotionally loaded chapters life hands you. Fertility journeys. Loss. Trauma. Eating disorders. My goal isn’t to hand you a script for how to feel better\u2014it’s to help you feel actually seen, and slowly find your way back to yourself.<\/p>

Together, we get underneath what’s keeping you stuck, not just around it. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and psychodynamic work\u2014real tools, used with intention, not therapy-speak for the sake of sounding impressive.<\/p>

This is a space to stop performing fine. To make sense of your pain instead of pushing it down. And to begin again\u2014with honesty, a little humor when it fits, and real hope.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I help women and couples find the safety, understanding, and connection they’ve been quietly craving\u2014whether that’s within themselves, or with the people they love most.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This work isn’t just my profession \u2014 it’s personal. That’s not a line. It’s the reason I show up the way I do.<\/p>

I’ve trained deeply in the exact experiences my clients live through: postpartum and perinatal mental health, infertility and the quiet weight of fertility treatment, eating disorders, trauma, women’s health. I spent years as a therapist working within higher levels of care, sitting with women carrying these exact struggles\u2014so when I say I’ve heard your story before, I mean it. Many times over.<\/p>

I also know that reaching out\u2014picking up the phone, sending that first email\u2014takes real courage. It’s an act of trust, and I don’t treat it lightly. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a clinician with a long resume of trainings and credentials. You’re getting someone who’s done the work, professionally and personally, to actually understand this season\u2014and who won’t let you walk through it alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
