Support on your journey into parenthood and beyond
Many clients I see come to therapy during pregnancy or postpartum feel like they’ve failed. They’re used to powering through challenges and figuring things out on their own, but the tools that worked for them before becoming a parent don’t always translate to caring for a baby. The truth is, parenthood is an entirely new experience, and it’s natural that old strategies won’t always fit this very different context.This isn’t failure—these are simply new challenges that call for new skills. That’s where I come in.
What I offer
-
Individual Therapy
You are going through literal and figurate transformation. While this can be deeply exciting, it can also be overwhelming and bewildering. You deserve to feel safe, understood, and deeply supported as you navigate this new season in life.
-
Couples Therapy
Growing your family can bring joy—and stress. Parenthood has a way of revealing the parts of a relationship that need extra support. We’ll explore expectations, work through communication challenges, and build tools to help your relationship thrive in this next chapter.
-
In-Home Therapy
In the earliest days of parenthood, finding the time or energy to leave the house for therapy can feel overwhelming. I offer in-home sessions for newly postpartum moms to provide greater ease and comfort during this tender time. Available in San Francisco and parts of Marin.
-
EMDR
EMDR can be especially supportive for women facing infertility, difficult pregnancies, birth trauma, loss, or the challenges of adjusting to parenthood. It can also help you work through old wounds or past experiences that may resurface during this season of life. You can learn more here.
