My main specializations are in reproductive mental health (perinatal, postpartum, loss, and infertility), queer family systems, and adults with ADHD.
Therapy only works when there is strong trust, and I work to foster a space that honors clients knowledge, pacing, and personal needs. I strive to help clients make forward movement as therapy is not just a place to vent. My style is warm, candid, and when appropriate, fairly humorous (therapy is work, but can also be playful!). My own journey as a daughter, partner, and mother to a 16 and 12 year old informs my work; I get what it means to be messy and resilient. I work hard to create a space where clients feel free of judgment, while still gently challenging people to do things that may be uncomfortable.

My speciality is in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD), pregnancy loss, infertility, birth trauma, difficulty adjusting as new parents, adult diagnosis of ADHD, as well as secondary trauma experienced by partners or care providers (doctors, nurses, midwives, doulas, etc.
Becoming a parent often brings up a wide range of emotions. Sometimes it is the long awaited reward after struggling with infertility, or bearing the grief of miscarriage and loss. Sometimes it is the excitement of adding to a growing family. Sometimes it is the fear of reliving physical, emotional, or mental pain and hardship. Sometimes it is grappling with the societal and cultural expectations of parenting. The experiences that arise for parents during conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting deserve a space for specialized care and attention. This specialized care is what I offer in support of your goals.

Clients I see are looking to recover from misattuned parenting or difficult families, to improve their relationships, to decrease fear, and to problem-solve here-and-now tasks of daily living. People often begin therapy while in the midst of a transition, or after a long period of knowing they should, or because they want to engage in deeper, more long-lasting psychodynamic work. Nervousness in the beginning is expected - those feelings can be explored and worked with. In fact, whatever we can identify that comes up in you or between us in session we can try to understand together - this is the nature of psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Infertility Therapists
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
