Whether you are navigating an unplanned pregnancy, trying to conceive, in any stage of pregnancy, postpartum, or several years into the parenthood journey, please know it is never too early or too late to reach out for support. My goal is to offer a compassionate, safe environment where you feel truly heard and supported through the profound complexities of this life transition.

Pregnancy to Postpartum

Welcoming a new addition to your family is a truly transformative chapter of life. While this season is filled with unique joys, it is also a complex transition that naturally brings a wide spectrum of emotions. I find deep fulfillment in supporting expectant parents as they prepare for their little one’s arrival. Through education, connection to valuable community resources, and the development of practical emotion regulation skills, my goal is to walk alongside you to make this transition feel more manageable and grounded.

Are you feeling more anxious, sad, irritable, or angry since your little one arrived? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts that cause distress and feel beyond typical worries? Together, we will explore your feelings and identify goals specific to you and your family. My role is to provide both emotional support and practical, concrete tools to help you navigate these unexpected moments. I am particularly adept at supporting clients through early feeding and sleep challenges, and those with “high needs” babies that transition into deeply feeling toddlers.

Toddlerhood

Perhaps you have moved beyond the ever-changing demands of infancy and are now navigating the humbling toddler or preschool years—those days filled with sweet, connected moments that are quickly followed by power struggles and meltdowns. Together, we will identify your personal goals for parenthood and determine where additional strategies and support may be most beneficial. My clinical approach is deeply informed by the work of Drs. Daniel Siegel and Becky Kennedy, grounded in attachment theory with a strong emphasis on fostering connection, developing emotion regulation strategies, and holding healthy boundaries over traditional punishment. I am confident that together, we can develop the strategies you need to become the parent you’ve always imagined yourself being.

Preteens & Adolescents

Are you raising a preteen or adolescent? While I don’t have personal experience in these stages, I dedicated half of my career to working with youth in both clinical and community settings. I understand how challenging it can be to maintain effective communication and connection during these years. I am here to offer education and practical strategies to foster healthy dialogue, strengthen your bond, and navigate these sometimes turbulent years with confidence.
