My Specialties.

Reproductive Mental Health

  • C-section birth can be unexpected and can result in birth trauma. Whether you are processing a recent birth, planning for a future scheduled c-section or are years out, we can work to heal and integrate.

  • I provide compassionate support for new and expecting parents navigating the emotional and mental health challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.

  • Whether from unexpected complications, C-sections, or difficult experiences during labor, birth trauma can leave lasting emotional scars. I offer a safe space to process these experiences and build tools for healing.

  • I offer non-judgmental, empathetic counseling for individuals processing the emotional impact of abortion, helping you find clarity and peace.

  • Experiencing infertility can be devastating and all consuming. It may feel impossible to go through your day without being reminded of pregnancy, children and your struggles. Here you can have the space to cry, be angry AND learn coping strategies to apply to your life.

Grief and Loss Support

  • Losing a pregnancy, no matter how early, can bring intense grief, confusion, and isolation. I provide compassionate support to help you navigate the emotions and honor your experience.

  • Sometimes grief isn’t fully acknowledged by others, leaving you feeling unseen and unsupported. I specialize in validating these experiences and helping you work through the emotions on your own terms.

Therapy on the Farm

  • Working with horses offers unique opportunities for emotional healing and personal growth. Through building relationships with horses, I help clients develop self-awareness, build trust, self-regulate and explore their emotions in a non-judgmental environment.

  • Nature-based therapy sessions tap into the grounding and calming effects of the outdoors. Whether walking in a park or engaging in mindfulness outside, I use nature as a therapeutic setting to help clients reduce stress and feel more connected.
