Infertility and pregnancy loss leave us feeling anxious and helpless about making the dream of a family come true. You may feel the rug has just been pulled out from under you, yet you are trying to keep it all together on the outside. You struggle with sleeping and focusing at work, and your partner thinks you are stressing yourself out. You want to talk to your friends and family but don’t want to be a burden. Plus, all they tell you to do is “just relax and it will happen.”

I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, mood, conflict and other issues affecting mental health and overall well-being. I have a dynamic approach to therapy predicated on listening, understanding and working through conflicts in a collaborative way. The support and insight gained in psychotherapy helps reduce stress and leads to personal growth.

I specialize in adjusting to life transitions and stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating and building meaning in their lives.
Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious! I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.
