As a psychotherapist, I work with parents throughout the life cycle using an integrative approach combining Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and psychodynamics to feel more grounded, calm, and confident as they navigate the challenges of life, particularly those brought up through parenting. I specialize in perinatal mental health, including anxiety, depression, pregnancy and labor trauma, infertility, grief, and loss. The transition to becoming a parent is one of the biggest, most monumental shifts we undertake in our lifetimes, and yet most of us receive the message that we should innately know what to do. I provide a warm, judgement-free space to explore all the feelings, fears, and frustrations that come up at each stage developmental stage, as well as offer parent coaching to face specific behavioral challenges.
