In my work with individuals and couples, I focus on the experience of emotion. I attend to how emotions come up in unhelpful ways and work with you (and your partner) to facilitate change and growth through emotional exploration and experiencing. I provide support and guidance for you to feel comfortable exploring emotions and different parts of yourself in a new way to help you shift how you respond and better meet your needs.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples around concerns related to perinatal depression & anxiety, pregnancy & infant loss, infertility, birth trauma, NICU stays, adjusting to parenthood, and a variety of parenting challenges, including foster and adoptive parenting.
