Mental Health Therapy

Traditional therapy provides a healing-centered space to navigate the emotional complexities of reproductive experiences such as infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum life.

As a licensed therapist, I can support you in understanding how these experiences impact your emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and sense of safety.

Therapy allows you to process grief, trauma, anxiety, and uncertainty with the guidance of a trained clinician who can offer evidence-based interventions and mental-health support.

Therapeutic Areas of Focus

Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health

The transition into parenthood can feel overwhelming, and it’s common to experience emotions that are confusing, intense, or difficult to talk about. I support individuals navigating:

Postpartum anxiety & depression
Pregnancy-related OCD (perinatal OCD)
Intrusive thoughts
Postpartum rage
Identity shifts and role changes after birth for individuals and couples
Birth trauma or traumatic medical experiences
ADHD

Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing after delivery, or trying to make sense of changes in your emotional world, therapy can help you regain balance and clarity.

Pregnancy Loss and Infertility

Grief around fertility, miscarriage, or pregnancy loss is often invisible but deeply felt. I offer a safe, gentle space for individuals and couples to process:

Grief after miscarriage or stillbirth
Recurrent pregnancy loss
Fertility challenges and the emotional toll of treatments
Medical trauma connected to reproductive care

You deserve support that honors your experience and your pace.

Hormonal Transitions: PMDD & Menopause

Hormonal changes can have a powerful impact on mental health. I help clients untangle emotional symptoms from physiological shifts and find tools to navigate:

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Perimenopause and menopause-related mood changes

Together, we work toward understanding your body’s patterns and building strategies that help you feel grounded and in control.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma can affect how you see yourself, your relationships, and your sense of safety. I offer trauma-informed care for:

Birth trauma
Medical trauma
Childhood or relational trauma
Single-incident or chronic trauma

Using modalities like EMDR, we focus on reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories and helping you move forward with confidence and peace.
