I specialize in trauma (PTSD), perinatal disorders, and couples counseling using a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including both cognitive (“talk therapy”) and neuro-based approaches (EMDR, etc.). Trauma, such as childhood abuse or neglect, sexual violence, domestic violence, etc., can create chaos in many areas of your life, including relationships, parenting, work/school performance, and even your physical health. My goal is to provide a warm and compassionate space where we can explore not just the trauma itself, but also how it intersects with other issues and patterns in your life.
In addition to trauma, my other passion is perinatal disorders such as postpartum depression, childbirth trauma, miscarriage/stillbirth, and infertility. Before becoming a therapist, I was a birth professional for 10+ years, giving me extensive insight into the challenges of pregnancy, birth, new parenthood, and relationship changes in the childbearing year.
I also enjoy working with couples struggling with communication and trust issues, infidelity, life transitions, parenting/co-parenting, navigating a separation or divorce, or exploring reconciliation. I am attuned to the ways one/both partner's mental health concerns affect the relationship dynamic, and the needs of partners trying to support their partner.
