About My Clients

I work with women navigating infertility, fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, menopause, and other reproductive and midlife changes. I also support those facing infidelity and relationship betrayal. Many of my clients are successful, capable women who are used to holding everything together but privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or uncertain about what comes next. They want an experienced therapist who understands the complexity of what they're facing.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28+ years of experience helping adults navigate some of life’s most personal and difficult challenges. Infertility and reproductive mental health are a primary focus of my practice. I have professional experience in this area and have completed multiple specialized trainings in infertility, family-building, and women’s mental health. My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and practical. I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, Gottman-informed work, solution-focused, strength-based, and trauma-informed approaches, tailoring therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I believe therapy should offer more than a place to talk. Together, we’ll understand patterns, work through difficult emotions and decisions, strengthen boundaries and relationships, and develop practical ways to help you feel more grounded and in control. I will support you with compassion while also challenging you when that can help you move forward.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy works best when you can show up as yourself without worrying about being judged, saying the “right” thing, or taking care of the person sitting across from you. You don’t need to have it all together here. I’m warm and compassionate, but I’m also direct. I won’t simply nod and ask, “How does that make you feel?” for 50 minutes. I’ll listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns, and gently challenge you when I think it may help. I also believe there is no single “right” way to navigate infertility, relationships, illness, or major life changes. My role isn’t to tell you what decision to make. It’s to help you understand what matters to you, trust yourself, and make choices that fit your life. Therapy can include difficult conversations, but it can also include humor, relief, and moments when you finally feel like yourself again. My goal is for you to leave our work feeling understood, supported, and better equipped to handle what comes next.
