Some of life's biggest transitions can bring emotions you weren't expecting.


Infertility, pregnancy loss, becoming a parent, postpartum changes, perimenopause, and menopause can affect far more than your physical health. They can change the way you feel, your relationships, your identity, and even your sense of who you are.


I specialize in reproductive behavioral health and support individuals and couples through these deeply personal experiences. My role isn't to tell you how you're supposed to feel. It's to give you a place where you can talk honestly about how you actually feel.


I also bring a neurodiversity-affirming perspective to my work. For people with ADHD or autism, hormonal changes, sensory demands, and reproductive transitions can sometimes feel particularly intense or overwhelming. Therapy should recognize those experiences rather than asking you to fit into a one-size-fits-all model.



As a therapist with Breathable Mental Health, I want you to have a space where you can talk honestly about what you’re experiencing and feel supported through some of life’s most personal and complicated transitions.

Does your mind keep replaying conversations, imagining what could go wrong, or telling you that you’re not doing enough? Anxiety and overthinking can make it hard to feel present and trust yourself. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, quiet the mental noise, and build practical tools for feeling more grounded and confident. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
