Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, Fertility, Trauma, and Perimenopause
Trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating reproductive, parenting, and life transitions.
Oakland, CA | Online throughout California
I provide specialized therapy for adults facing challenges related to pregnancy and postpartum mental health, fertility and pregnancy loss, perimenopause, trauma, PANDAS/PANS parenting stress, and professional burnout. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Brainspotting.
Reaching out for therapy often happens at moments of profound change or strain — during pregnancy or postpartum, while navigating fertility challenges or loss, in the midst of parenting a child with complex needs, or during the physical and emotional shifts of perimenopause. You may be holding experiences that feel difficult to name or share, while still needing to function for others. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness, but a thoughtful step toward relief, clarity, and steadiness.
