Couples & Perinatal Relationship Specialist

Even strong relationships can begin to feel painful, distant, or emotionally exhausting during periods of stress, infertility, parenthood, burnout, or unresolved emotional wounds. You may find yourselves repeating the same arguments, feeling misunderstood, emotionally disconnected, or struggling to communicate without conflict escalating. Individually, you may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, pressure, emotional exhaustion, or the quiet loneliness that often accompanies major life transitions.

Therapy can help you better understand the patterns keeping you stuck while creating new experiences of emotional safety, connection, and resilience.

I provide specialized online therapy for couples and individuals throughout California seeking deeper emotional connection, healthier communication, and meaningful long-term change. My sessions are designed for clients who want thoughtful, emotionally attuned, evidence-based care that addresses not only symptoms, but the underlying emotional and relational experiences shaping them.

I specialize in:

• Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)

• Marriage and relationship counseling

• Fertility counseling and IVF emotional support

• Pregnancy and postpartum mental health

• Attachment-based therapy

• Anxiety and emotional regulation

• Trauma-informed care and relational therapy

• Therapy for high-achieving professionals and overwhelmed parents

Many of the clients I work with are professionals, healthcare providers, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and parents who appear highly capable externally while privately carrying chronic stress, emotional disconnection, relationship strain, infertility grief, or nervous system overwhelm. Often, they have spent years trying to "push through" emotional pain while still showing up for everyone around them.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel emotionally understood, psychologically safe, and supported in building healthier patterns within themselves and their relationships.

Fertility Counseling & IVF Support

The emotional impact of infertility and fertility treatment is often invisible to others while deeply affecting nearly every aspect of life and relationships. Fertility struggles can impact emotional well-being, self-worth, intimacy, identity, hope, and connection between partners.

I provide specialized fertility counseling and IVF support for individuals and couples navigating:

• IVF and fertility treatment stress

• Infertility grief and loss

• Pregnancy loss and miscarriage

• Failed transfer cycles

• Anxiety surrounding conception

• Emotional exhaustion and burnout

• Relationship strain during fertility treatment

• Reproductive trauma

• Family planning uncertainty

• Male fertility emotional support

Clients often come to therapy feeling emotionally depleted, isolated, or overwhelmed by the uncertainty and pressure surrounding fertility journeys. Therapy can provide a grounded and compassionate space to process grief, fear, shame, disappointment, and relationship strain while helping couples feel more emotionally connected and supported through the process.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Mental Health Therapy

Pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and early parenthood can bring profound emotional, relational, and identity changes. Even joyful transitions can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or emotionally destabilizing.

I provide evidence-based perinatal mental health therapy for individuals and couples experiencing:

• Perinatal anxiety

• Postpartum depression

• Birth trauma

• Emotional overwhelm during pregnancy

• Parenting stress and burnout

• Identity shifts after becoming parents

• Sleep deprivation and emotional exhaustion

• Relationship changes after children

• Maternal and paternal mental health concerns

• Difficulty adjusting to parenthood

My goal is to help clients feel emotionally supported, grounded, and more connected to themselves and each other during one of life's most significant transitions.
