Are you struggling emotionally during the process of trying to build your family? Has the experience of trying to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and become a parent been much harder or more complicated than you expected? This is so common, and so difficult to talk about. The grief, loss, frustration, anger, and deep sadness can be hard to navigate. I can help. I specialize in working with people struggling with infertility, high risk pregnancy, pregnancy and infant loss, adjusting to parenthood, or building a life that looks different than you anticipated. I provide a warm and supportive space to work through these challenges honestly, where we can confront how you are feeling and move towards feeling whole.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will get to know each other and spend a little time deciding the most pressing issue for you, and how to get some immediate relief. The goal is to leave feeling better than when we start, even in the first session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am very experienced in working with people through all stages of family building, from creating a plan for how to build your family, to working through postpartum depression and anxiety. I have worked with all kinds of grief and loss, from early pregnancy to term loss, neonatal death, and perinatal palliative care. I am able to help you figure out what life will look like now, and provide a safe space to feel all of grief and learn where we will find joy again.
