Pregnancy is supposed to be a time of excitement… right? For many folks, it’s filled with worries and uncertainty- and that reality can feel so isolating. Pregnant people often share thoughts like:

• I’m not enjoying this time like I thought I would- shouldn’t I be happy?

• What if I give birth in the car? What if we lose the baby’s heartbeat? What if…

• I’m worried I’ll relapse or have another mental health episode during this pregnancy.

The postpartum period can also be far more intense than people expect. Many postpartum parents deal with intrusive thoughts, constant overwhelm, sleep deprivation, and mood and relationship shifts. Both birthing and non-birthing parents sometimes share things like:

• I’m not bonding with my baby- does this make me a terrible parent?

• I’m failing at this- I’m just not cut out for parenthood.

• I feel exhausted and hopeless, and it seems like this will never get easier.

No matter how pregnancy and postpartum look for you, you deserve a space to navigate these major transitions. As both a therapist and doula, I offer education, resource connection, and mental health support. Together, we can work on creating an empowering birth (and postpartum!) plan, building your support system, and tapping into your inner strengths to help you thrive as a new (or new again) parent.

Birth is meant to be an empowering experience- but for many, their child’s arrival is marked by fear, mistreatment, or a loss of control. If your birth left you feeling unheard, pressured, or violated, you’re not alone. Obstetric violence is real, and its effects can last long after delivery.

Clients often come to me saying things like:

• I felt like my body wasn’t my own during birth.

• I can’t stop replaying everything in my head- when did it all go wrong?

• I’m scared to give birth again because of what happened.

• I shouldn’t feel this way- my baby and I are both healthy.

These are not overreactions- they’re signs of trauma, and you deserve a space to unpack it all with someone who gets it. As a doula, I’ve seen firsthand how birth experiences can shape a person’s sense of safety, identity, and relationship with their own body. Together, we’ll move gently through your birth story, giving you space to process your emotions, create a new narrative, and find healing through repair.

The path to parenthood is often imperfect. Loss can come in many forms: miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, failed adoption, termination for medical reasons, or unsuccessful fertility treatments. Even during a healthy pregnancy, grief is common- especially after a previous loss, while mourning a loved one, or during a major life transition.

People I work with often share things like:

• I feel like my body has betrayed me.

• I can’t handle another round of IVF- what if it ends in medical bills and heartbreak?

• I feel judged grieving for such an early miscarriage.

• I never imagined becoming first-time parent without my own mom here.

I offer an unbiased space to process all forms of reproductive loss, so you don’t have to navigate this alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to rebuild trust in your body and rewrite your reproductive story into an empowering, healing narrative.

Queer and trans folks often have to navigate systems that weren’t built for them. Whether you’re exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating queer conception, trying to survive trans or nonbinary pregnancy, or searching for gender affirming care, you deserve to feel like more than just an afterthought.

Clients often share thoughts like:

• All of the resources I find are for cis/het “mamas”- where do I fit in?

• People just don’t understand the trauma of queer loss.

• I just want a therapist who gets it- without me having to educate them.

You deserve care that truly centers the complexities of queer and trans experiences. No matter where you are in your journey- identity exploration, reproductive experiences, or parenting- I offer an affirming space to process it all.

Living with menstrual or cyclical health conditions can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. Experiences like PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, and chronic pelvic pain can impact every part of your daily life. And when your symptoms are constantly minimized or dismissed by healthcare providers, it can start to feel like your body is a problem that can’t be solved.

Many clients share thoughts like:

• I feel like my entire life revolves around my cycle.

• Everyone tells me my mood swings are “normal”- but I really feel like something’s off.

• I’m tired of having to prove to others that my pain is real.

I teach clients how to chart their cycles and track their symptoms to better understand their bodies and advocate for themselves in a system that often fails to listen. We’ll work together to strengthen the mind-body connection, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim ownership of your health and body.
