Parenthood has the potential to be one of life’s most beautiful journeys. At the same time, it is so often filled with challenging and distressing thoughts, feelings, and experiences that can leave us feeling isolated and  overwhelmed. I believe that everyone who is struggling deserves a safe and supportive space to share their story, to feel seen and understood, and to know they do not have to walk this difficult path alone.

As a father who has personally endured the pain of pregnancy loss, holding space for parents in the perinatal season of life is deeply sacred to me. I’m passionate about helping couples develop healthy and adaptive  communication and behavioral patterns, fostering increased understanding, connection, and well-being in their relationships. I also enjoy helping men to navigate their role in the perinatal journey and in the transition to familyhood. Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience leading pregnancy and infant loss support groups, walking alongside individuals and couples in the darkest and loneliest phases of their grief.

I practice a collaborative approach to therapy, rooted in compassion, warmth, and curiosity, that is strengths-based and client-centered. I lean toward the utilization of mindfulness and self-compassion practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma processing with EMDR.

I whole-heartedly believe that we all possess within ourselves the innate ability, strength, and resiliency to bring growth, healing, authenticity, and fulfillment to our lives. Sometimes, we just need someone to offer a little extra perspective, guidance, and encouragement to help us realize our full potential as individuals, parents, and partners.

 

I would be honored to join you in this way on your path toward well-being!
