If you’re here now, it’s probably because you feel like you’re at a crossroads and you need someone to help you figure out where you’re heading next.
Maybe you’ve been keeping a gratitude journal, maybe you’ve been exercising, maybe you’ve even been to therapy before but it just didn’t seem like the right fit. If you’re here, I’m guessing you are hoping for something more out of motherhood - or just life in general.
This is one-on-one therapy designed for you and you alone. This is a sacred, special, confidential time reserved for you to process anything that is bothering you. I use a person-centered approach, meaning I tailor the therapy to your particular needs.
Some of the modalities I use are Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, Companioning for Grief, and even some Expressive Arts. No subject is TMI for me! I prefer to start on a weekly cadence so that we can build our relationship with one another and gift your nervous system some consistency. I want to help you meet your goals so honestly, you put me out of a job.
That being said, life happens and many of my clients stay with me for a long time as they shift and change and grow with new stressors that arise. But one thing is always true: You are the leader of your healing journey. You decide whether to stay and when it’s time to go.
Moms at any stage of motherhood, whether you have living children or not. You get to decide if and how you identify as a mom.
I use Brainspotting to help babies up to age 2 (with their moms or a parent as a witness) process whatever their little bodies are holding, be it from their birth experience or something else that’s happened that is causing them distress. Brainspotting is incredibly gentle and even fun. The icing on the cake with this is that if you are having a hard time feeling connected to your baby, this process can really help you bond.
Moms (or parent) and their baby, together. Disclaimer: While I can’t promise that Brainspotting sessions will lead to changes in your baby’s behavior, and this therapy is not a substitute for medical care, we will work together thoughtfully to ensure your baby is receiving the support they need.
Couple therapy is for folks who are having a difficult time communicating with one another. I am a cis-gender, heterosexual woman, but I am happy to work with couples of any sexuality or orientation. I use a modality called Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), which is a way of helping couples relate to each other with more compassion and kindness. This requires both parties to be engaged and willing to be vulnerable with one another.
I only work with couples who are processing a loss or a trauma together (such as a traumatic birth experience). Please inquire to set up a consultation to see if I would be a good fit for your couples work. If you are finding yourself in a high-conflict relationship, I will need to refer you to a trusted colleague.

Mom Parts Salons are one hour group sessions that will help you understand yourself better by identifying and connecting with your "Mom Parts." The goal of these groups is to bring more curiosity, calm, compassion, and connectedness into your life. Bonus goal: cultivating community with other moms so you feel less alone. You’re not!
Moms at any stage of motherhood. Grandmas are welcome, too! These groups are for moms who are feeling overwhelmed, like you can't do anything right, anxious, moms who are torn between the responsibilities of being a mom and their own needs, or moms who just want to get to know themselves a little better. Basically, any mom.
