About My Clients

You're doing your best to hold it all together, but you're struggling. Maybe you're pregnant or just had a baby, and everything feels like too much. You’re overwhelmed, anxious, and sometimes feel like a stranger in your own body. You’re having intrusive thoughts you’re too scared to say out loud. Maybe the birth didn’t go how you imagined, or past trauma and body image struggles are resurfacing. You don't have to do this alone.

My Background and Approach
