Certified by Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, I work with birthing individuals, their partners, and sometimes their families as they navigate issues such as infertility, perinatal mood, and anxiety disorders, pregnancy and birth trauma, as well as infant and child loss.

Traumatic experiences hold the potential to change the way we see the world and ourselves dramatically. Often, trauma shows up in relationships with others and ourselves. I work from a lens that recognizes the world of avoidance we live in and offer myself as a partner to process the most difficult of experiences so that they may no longer have a hold on you.

There are so many issues that women face outside of the perinatal period, such as the decision not to have children or the different forms of bias and sexism we face in the world. From a feminist lens, I support my clients as they process how their identity as a woman and cyclical nature of the physical components of the female body can impact mood, relationships, and life.

Women navigate various issues beyond the perinatal period, including deciding not to have children and confronting bias and sexism. Through a feminist perspective, I help clients explore how their identity as women and the cyclical aspects of the female body influence mood, relationships, and life. My approach embraces inclusivity, supporting women in understanding and navigating these complex dynamics with empathy and empowerment.

Certified by Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, I accompany birthing individuals, their partners, and families on a transformative journey. Together, we navigate through the intricate terrain of infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, pregnancy and birth trauma, and the heart-wrenching challenges of infant and child loss.

Traumatic experiences have the power to profoundly alter our perceptions of the world and ourselves. They often manifest in our relationships with others and ourselves. I approach therapy acknowledging the pervasive nature of avoidance in our lives, offering compassionate support to process these challenging experiences. Together, we work towards freeing you from the grip of past traumas, empowering you to reclaim agency over your life and relationships.

I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a powerful therapeutic approach to help clients process and heal from trauma and distressing experiences. Through EMDR, we engage in structured sessions where I guide you through bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, taps, or sounds) while focusing on traumatic memories or distressing emotions. This process facilitates the brain's natural ability to reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional intensity and negative

I employ EMDR to help clients process trauma by using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, sounds) to reprocess distressing memories and emotions. This approach reduces their impact, alleviates symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and fosters emotional healing and resilience.

I apply Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help clients explore and transform their emotional experiences. By focusing on attachment patterns and emotional responses, EFIT aims to deepen emotional awareness, strengthen relationships (including the one with oneself), and promote secure emotional bonds. This approach integrates techniques from various therapies to support clients in navigating and resolving emotional challenges, fostering personal growth and enhanced well-being.

I approach trauma therapy with a comprehensive framework tailored to each client's needs. Drawing from modalities like EMDR, somatic therapies, and emotionally focused therapy, I guide clients through a process of understanding and healing traumatic experiences. Together, we address symptoms, process memories, and build resilience, fostering empowerment and emotional well-being. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can explore and integrate their experiences.
