NICU, PREGNANCY LOSS & FERTILITY
Maybe it's your baby's NICU journey that has brought you here. Maybe it's the raw, heart-wrenching grief after a pregnancy loss. Maybe it's the overwhelm from pursuing fertility options after a diagnosis impacting your reproductive health. Sometimes what we are going through in the present dredges up childhood trauma or a previous loss. Sometimes the volume of our inner shame & guilt dialogue increases when we go through these life-unraveling experiences. I'm here to sit with you in this, as I've seen how lonely it can feel.
Drawing from my extensive clinical work in this area, I take a compassionate, trauma-infomed approach to support you through these complex and deeply emotional experiences. Using somatic techniques, guided visualizations, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help my clients reconnect with their bodies, cope with grief, and cultivate a sense of stability. My therapeutic approach also addresses the emotional impact of fertility treatments, coping with uncertainty, and navigating the complex edecisions involved in the fertility journey.

GRIEF & LOSS
​Grief and loss tend to transcend words. As someone who has experienced traumatic loss, I understand that along with grief can come hopelessness, emptiness, and feeling paralyzed. It tremendously affects the way we see the world and ourselves in it. It causes an alteration to your consciousness. Whether you are in the throes of raw grief or grappling with how to integrate it into the long-term, therapy can help you find the ground beneath your feet. With expertise in various types of grief, including bereavement, traumatic loss, and anticipatory grief, I'm equipped to navigate the intricacies of your experience. Whatever your circumstances are, I am committed to understanding and supporting you through the days it feels difficult to breathe.
CANCER & SURVIVORSHIP SUPPORT
Psycho-oncology is a specialized field of psychology that focuses on the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of cancer. It acknowledges the profound impact that a cancer diagnosis can have on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. My expertise lies in addressing these holistic dimensions, which encompasses coping with the emotional impact of cancer, managing treatment-related stress, and navigating the uncertainties that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. As someone who has also been through cancer, I hold a unique kind of understanding of what we may silently go through.
My approach involves tailoring therapeutic interventions to address anxiety, depressed mood, grief, and the complex array of emotions that may arise during different stages of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Wherever you are in the stages of being impacted by cancer, I am here to guide and support you.
