You have power within you,
and I get to help you realize it.

My Approach

I use talk therapy, the therapeutic relationship we build together, and inner child work to help you connect with your knowing. I take the same approach to therapy as I do as a doula. You have the power within you, and I just get to help you realize it.

I hope to be a supportive presence in this beautiful and possibly difficult time for you. There is so much “both and” when it comes to the perinatal period. Losses and gains, throughout. I aim to help you find space for all of it. We are complex, often having many different emotions at once. This is totally normal! I hope to provide space that honors your process and encourages you to find your true inner peace and confidence. You are enough.
