Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum

There are many ways to have a family. There are many ways to parent. There are many twists and turns along the way. I'm here to support you on your path to parenthood and beyond.

My practice focus is women’s reproductive, perinatal and maternal mental health. I provide individual therapy for infertility, pregnancy and postpartum, third-party family building, women at mid-life, and parenting kids of any age in any family structure. I also work with donor conceived individuals, and with former donors who want to meaningfully connect with genetic offspring.
My general practice areas include loss and grief, life transitions, understanding and managing mood and anxiety challenges, and relationship issues. I work with clients in the San Francisco Bay Area.
