Individual Therapy for the Perinatal & Reproductive Journey
Specialized Support for Infertility, Loss, Pregnancy, and Postpartum
The path to and through parenthood—and the seasons spent waiting for it—can bring intense emotional shifts that leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Whether you are navigating the clinical grind of infertility, the "tender space" of pregnancy after loss, or the quiet exhaustion of the postpartum year, you don't have to carry the weight alone. Drawing on 15 years of clinical experience in pediatric medical and military settings, I provide a steady, expert space to help you find your footing.
Navigating the Unseen Journey: Infertility, Loss, and Grief
The road to parenthood is not always linear. For many, it is marked by the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatments, the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, or the anxiety of the "two-week wait."
If you are navigating the complexities of IVF, the profound grief of a loss, or the stress of a high-risk pregnancy, I offer a compassionate, specialized space to process these experiences. I understand the unique trauma of these "waiting" seasons and am here to support your resilience as you navigate the hope, the heartbreak, and everything in between.
Understanding the Shift: Is this the 'Baby Blues' or something more?
Welcoming a child is a monumental life change. While many new parents experience "Baby Blues"—common feelings of fatigue or irritability that resolve within the first two weeks—sometimes these emotions run deeper. When symptoms last longer than two weeks, they may be Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS), which require specialized professional care.
When to Seek Specialized Support (PMADS)
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) involve symptoms that last longer than two weeks and require professional care. I specialize in helping individuals navigate:
Postpartum Anxiety: Racing thoughts, physical tension (nausea, dizziness), feelings of 'dread,' or an inability to quiet the mind.
Postpartum Depression: Feelings of anger or 'rage,' a loss of joy in things you once loved, or a heavy sense of guilt and hopelessness.
Supporting Dads and Partners Through the Transition
Parenthood is a shared journey, yet the mental health of partners is often overlooked. Research shows that 1 in 10 men experience depression or anxiety during the perinatal period. I provide a dedicated, non-judgmental space for fathers and partners to process the overwhelming pressure to provide, feelings of withdrawal, or the “parenting triggers” that arise with a new baby.
Clinical Expertise for Your Most Personal Transitions
In my 15 years as a therapist, I have helped individuals navigate the full spectrum of reproductive life, including:
Fertility Challenges & Prenatal Care: Navigating the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive or a difficult pregnancy.
Birth Trauma Recovery: Using EMDR and Somatic tools to process difficult birth experiences.
Postpartum Exhaustion & 'Motherhood Rage': Moving past the shame to find sustainable calm.
Identity Transitions: Bridging the gap between who you were before kids and the person you are becoming now.
My practice is fully virtual, secure, and HIPAA-compliant. Because I understand the realities of early parenthood and the fertility journey, infants, breastfeeding, and bottle-feeding are always welcome in our sessions. You deserve a space where you are the priority.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of a difficult pregnancy, the grief of a loss, or the quiet intensity of postpartum life, there is a way through. Let’s find your steadiness together.
