Clinical Focus

I work with individuals navigating a range of experiences, including those listed below. You’re welcome to explore these areas to see what resonates with you.

    Perinatal Mental Health

    The perinatal period—pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond—can be both joyful and deeply overwhelming. If you’re feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself in this new role, you are not alone. I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based support for fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum adjustment.

    Whether you are grieving a difficult birth, struggling to bond, coping with intrusive thoughts, or carrying intense emotions, therapy can help you feel more supported and less alone. Together, we can reduce overwhelm, build practical coping skills, reconnect with your strengths, and gently process trauma and grief.

    Thoughtful, individualized care to help you feel more grounded, clear, and resilient. Schedule a free consultation.

    Pregnancy, Infant, and Reproductive Loss

    Grieving a pregnancy or the loss of a baby is a heartbreak that can feel invisible, isolating, and all-consuming. This grief can also emerge after infertility, or when a foster child you’ve deeply bonded with is returned to their biological family. I hold space for the depth and complexity of these experiences—whether your loss was recent or years ago, named or unnamed, expected or sudden. I help you gently tend to the parts of you that feel devastated, guilty, angry, or numb, while also supporting your need for meaning and connection. I offer a safe, validating space to honor your experience and gently begin the healing process—on your terms, and in your time.

    Parenting Support

    Parenting can bring deep love, joy, and a sense of purpose, but it can also bring frustration, self-doubt, and exhaustion. Many parents find themselves overwhelmed, irritable, or disconnected while trying to meet the endless needs of their children, especially when also juggling work, relationships, or past trauma. You may feel like you’re constantly falling short, struggling to stay patient, or unsure how to support a child with emotional or behavioral challenges. I work with parents who want to respond to their children with more calm and confidence. I’ll help you tune into your own internal experience, understand the parts of you that get triggered, and help you access your calm, curious, grounded Self—so you can show up as the parent you’ve always hoped to be, even in the hard moments.

    Disordered Eating & Body Image

    If you’re navigating restriction, binge eating, chronic dieting, or body shame, you are not alone. I work with individuals struggling with painful patterns around food, eating, and body image that can affect daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being. These struggles often make sense in context. Disordered eating can be connected to trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, or a need for safety, control, or relief.

    My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based care and deep respect for your lived experience. I have specialized training through the Eating Disorders Institute at Plymouth State University and the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp), and I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. My work is also informed by a Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned perspective, supporting healing that moves away from shame and toward attunement, nourishment, and trust in your body.

    Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & Life Transitions

    Life can feel heavy, uncertain, or difficult to navigate, especially during times of stress, loss, trauma, or major transition. If you’re feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are anymore, therapy can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and begin to understand why. Together, we can explore the patterns, emotions, and protective parts of you that have been working hard to manage fear, sadness, overwhelm, or self-criticism.

    Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, or a general loss of direction, I offer a warm, collaborative space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen self-compassion, and move toward more grounded, sustainable ways of coping. Over time, therapy can help you feel more steady, more connected to your values, and more able to move forward with clarity.
