Receive nourishing support while navigating fertility, pregnancy, or the postpartum period.

We’ll get through this together

My specialty is helping clients navigate the complex emotional experiences that are part of becoming and being a parent. This focus is rooted in a deep understanding of how difficult each step of the journey can be, from fertility to birth or adoption to raising a child.

The challenges that come with conception, pregnancy, and parenting are common, but there are too few opportunities for open, honest, and empathic discussion of those challenges.

I strive to create such opportunities in my practice.

The challenges we may work through

Although they are seldom talked about in public, difficulties related to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting can lead to emotional distress and a variety of feelings such as frustration, loneliness, anger, anxiety, overwhelm, and despair.

The following are common topics that people often find helpful to deal with in therapy:

• Postpartum depression, anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

• The "baby blues"

• Infertility

• Fertility treatment (medication, IUI, IVF)

• Pregnancy loss including miscarriage, abortion, reduction, and stillbirth

• Traumatic birth experiences

• LGBTQIA+ conception and adoption

• Third-party reproduction

• Fertility preservation

• Medicalized pregnancy

• Identity and role transitions

• Partner conflict

• Motherhood, fatherhood, and single parenting

I offer sessions in my Beacon, NY office and virtually via HIPAA compliant video-chat to clients living anywhere in New York State.
