Areas of Focus

Most people who reach out are dealing with more than one thing at once. The categories below aren't separate boxes; they're where the work tends to concentrate.
 

Three areas make up the core of my practice: couples work, perinatal mental health, and women navigating identity and life transitions. Grief, anxiety and depression, and trauma tend to show up inside that work rather than as separate tracks;  I treat them directly when they're the main thing, and address them as they surface within the rest.
