About My Clients

Many of my couples therapy clients are facing major transitions, such as marriage, parenthood, fertility treatments, or the postpartum period. Others are grappling with unexpected crises, including grief, trauma, infidelity, or divorce.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training in evidence-based couples therapy approaches, and I’ve also completed specialized training in perinatal mental health. Supporting couples through the highs and lows of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting is a big part of what I do—and something I care deeply about.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m passionate about supporting all couples, including queer couples and those navigating the complexities of fertility treatments, family building, or reproductive decision-making. I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, informed care—especially during life’s most vulnerable transitions. Reproductive rights and justice are core values for me, and I hold space for clients making decisions around parenting, fertility, or abortion with empathy and respect.
