Heal the past. Break the cycle.
Build a life you love.
Counseling services for women and couples from preconception through parenthood
This isn’t going the way you expected.
You’re weighed down by stress, consumed with anxiety - wondering when exactly you stopped feeling like yourself.
You know that your path into parenthood hasn’t been easy, but you’ve become overwhelmed by the uncertainty, unable to stop the negative thoughts from spiraling. You feel alone, unseen, and like you’re losing hope.
Your relationship is struggling, too. You know you’re both trying, but you feel like you just keep missing each other.
You’re frustrated by the cycle of misunderstandings and disconnection that have emerged. You know these patterns feel familiar, but you’re not sure how to break free from them to find your way back to the ease and intimacy in your relationship.
Feel better equipped to handle the stressors this time brings.
By understanding the connections between your past and present, you can gain insight into yourself, your patterns and your relationships - and begin to make real, lasting change. We help women and couples throughout California navigate their transition into parenthood with compassion, connection and clarity.
Using evidence-based and insight-oriented talk therapy grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theory, we’ll work together to uncover the patterns that have been holding you back. Together, you’ll learn how to better handle the stressors this stage brings and build the life you truly desire.
Our commitment to you
BREAK FREE FROM THE PAST TO start living the LIFE YOU desire
We believe becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences a person goes through in life. Wounds from your past inevitably resurface - and show up in your relationship to yourself and others. We specialize in helping you understand those unconscious connections and heal, so you can create a more authentic, congruent life.
Our therapists bring clinical expertise and their authentic self to their work with clients. We take a compassionate and collaborative approach - offering guidance and gentle challenging when needed - to help you meet this time with acceptance, reflection, and growth. We love working with women and couples who are not afraid to be vulnerable and go deep - they’re the ones who often see the most progress from our work together.

We offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those with financial need. -
We are a private pay practice and do not accept health insurance. However, I can provide monthly superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your provider to understand your benefits, as coverage varies by plan.

Your therapist reserves your appointment time just for you. Sessions canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full session fee unless rescheduled within the same business week. Availability for rescheduling is not guaranteed.

We meet weekly for 50 minute sessions. Once therapy has been established, you and your therapist can discuss the appropriateness of moving to biweekly sessions.
75 and 90 minute sessions are also available for couples. -
While this is unique to each person, the kind of therapy we do is an investment - but it is an investment in yourself and your future. It is not a bandaid or a quick fix and many clients are in therapy with us for six months or longer. This is because we are doing deeper work to create real, lasting change.
