Welcoming a new baby is supposed to be a time of excitement… right? For many folks, it doesn’t quite feel that way. (And that doesn’t make you a bad parent.)

Pregnancy can come with worry, mood changes, and complications. And postpartum is often more intense than people expect- many parents deal with intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, sleep deprivation, and relationship shifts.

No matter what you’re feeling, you deserve support. As a therapist + doula, I offer education, resource navigation, and mental health support. Together, we can create an empowering birth (and postpartum!) plan and tap into your inner strengths to help you thrive as a new (or new again) parent.

Birth trauma can happen when your birth experience leaves you feeling afraid, powerless, or unsafe. For some, this stems from mistreatment or coercion during labor and delivery (sometimes called obstetric violence). For others, trauma may follow a medical emergency, a NICU stay, or a situation where you or your baby were at risk.

Even when everyone is ultimately "healthy," it can be hard to stop replaying what happened in your mind. As both a trauma-informed therapist and doula, I provide a space to process your birth story, reconnect with your sense of safety, and move toward healing with compassion and support.

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.

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 reproductive spaces that weren’t built for them. Whether you’re exploring your fertility options, trying to survive trans or nonbinary pregnancy, feeding your baby with your body, or fighting to have your family legally recognized, you deserve to feel like more than just an afterthought.

Building family as a queer or trans person often requires extra planning, advocacy, and resilience. Along with the excitement of growing your family, you might also be experiencing grief, anxiety, discrimination, identity changes, or the exhaustion of constantly having to explain yourself. My goal is to provide a space where your experiences are understood, your family is affirmed, and you can focus on thriving rather than educating your therapist.

Feeling like your entire life revolves around your cycle? Conditions like PMDD, endometriosis, and PCOS can impact every part of your life. And when your symptoms are constantly minimized or dismissed by healthcare providers, it can start to feel like you’re actually the problem.

Good news- you’re not. I help clients to understand their bodies and advocate for themselves in systems that often fail to listen. Together, we can learn to chart your cycle, track your symptoms, and reclaim ownership of your body.
