Reproductive Psychotherapist, Associate
Originally from the South, I have called the Seattle area home for the past decade. In my personal time, I enjoy crafting, puzzles, cozy mysteries, and quality time with my spouse, daughter, and cats.
My own pandemic pregnancy and traumatic birth experience sparked my interest in reproductive mental health. I work with clients across the reproductive spectrum, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. I particularly enjoy working with birth trauma, TFMR, and complex relationships in the transition to parenthood, both with gestational and non-gestational parents.
In addition to reproductive mental health, I also enjoy working with those navigating life transitions, work related stress, burnout, self-esteem, family dynamics, and breaking intergenerational cycles. My therapeutic style draws on my background as a facilitator in social movement spaces, prior to this career change.
I strive to bring a warm, collaborative, and inclusive approach to sessions, balancing structure with flexibility, and holding space for client's personal growth as wella s the environment that shapes our experiences.
