Individual Therapy

i meet my work with individuals with curiosity, commitment, and care as we navigate…

  • painful and difficult dynamics in family, partner, peer, and employment relationships

  • difficulty tolerating unknowns, uncertainty, and change

  • feelings of stagnancy, confusion, or angst about life trajectory

  • a desire for self-understanding, awareness, and growth

  • loss and grief

i typically meet with individuals weekly for 50-minute sessions via telehealth.

i work with individuals and couples throughout the entire spectrum of the perinatal period. in particular, i am specialized in supporting those who are…

  • feeling the societal tension of parenthood pulled to orient toward your child over your self

  • struggling to balance your longings and desires with your partners’, compounded by the presence of a new child

  • anxious, worried, and fearful about your capacity to meet the needs of your child

  • longing to reconnect with a version of you before having children

  • becoming so consumed with conceiving that it’s hard to think or talk about anything else

  • feeling alone, alien, or incompetent in your role as a parent

  • navigating the unknown possibility of becoming a parent due to infertility

  • struggling in partnership to find each other or connect due to pressures of parenting

  • navigating different parenting approaches struggling to compromise without being critical or dismissive of each other’s style

Perinatal Therapy

most of us aren’t taught how to be in relationship. we fall in love and build a life without ever really developing a vision of where we are going or how we are going to get there together.

instead, we find ourselves muddling through the messiness of trying to meet the needs of another without losing ourselves. we butt heads, hit walls, ignore, avoid, yell, run away, shut down, and grasp. ultimately, we end up feeling disconnected — left alone, not good enough, unwanted, or misunderstood.

relationships, though, have the ability to be an experience of profound safety, healing, and care. when you learn who you and your partner really are and what you both really need, you develop the ability to do what is best for your relationship without doing so at the expense of you. ultimately, there is space for both individuals to be fully themselves without having to risk disconnection.

in a secure relationship you learn to cultivate safety, express yourselves wholly, and create solutions that work for you, your partner, and your relationship.

i typically meet with couples weekly for the benefit of consistent engagement and change. at the onset of our work, i encourage couples to meet for two session hours (100min). sessions are conducted via telehealth. i expect couples to join virtual sessions from the same location

i support couples in building a secure-functioning, collaborative, connected relationship particularly through periods of distress using the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT).
