Perinatal Counseling

Navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring emotional challenges, both for individuals and couples. Perinatal counseling offers a compassionate space to address these concerns, providing mental health support during pregnancy and after birth throughout the first few years.

Couples Counseling

Unmet expectations, childhood trauma, and life transitions can put a strain on even the strongest relationships. Couples counseling offers a safe and supportive space to navigate these challenges, helping you and your partner strengthen your bond, improve communication, and rediscover your connection.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling can help you better understand yourself, cope with life’s challenges, and develop healthier patterns of thinking. Working with a licensed therapist can change how you respond to stress, ultimately leading to personal growth and improved well-being.

I am a perinatal and couples counselor with over 15 years of experience as a school teacher and school counselor.

How do you know if you need counseling?

Life doesn’t always go the way we think it will, or what society portrays “normal” to be. Things happen out of our control, and we don’t always know how to deal with them. There isn’t any shame in getting the support you need to navigate these feelings, or learn how to deal with emotions such as:

  • Loss & grief

  • Depression & anxiety

  • Life transitions

  • Relationship issues

These are common struggles that I’ve helped many of my clients with and can help you too! You don’t have to deal with them alone. Schedule a free discovery call to see how I can help you through these hard times, and begin your journey toward healing.
