Special Services

Some people seek therapy around particular roles, responsibilities, or life circumstances that shape how stress and emotional challenges show up. This page highlights a few areas of focus in my practice where context matters — not because the concerns are unusual, but because they carry specific pressures and expectations.

  • Deciding whether to parent, having a baby, or grappling with infertility or loss are significant events in your life a a woman. Your body will likely receive thorough care at this time in your life, but your experiences and emotions may be left out of the medical mix. Your reactions to medical interventions and the changes in your body and identity may not be concerns your doctors ask you about, but they are important considerations in the person you are and the person you are becoming.

    Seeking therapy when you’re having a baby, grieving a loss, or making decisions about next steps can help you work though the hard parts and find peace and joy in the life you are building. Therapy can help you manage relationship changes, and can support you in this time of transition. I am passionate about supporting women in this life phase, and look forward to offering you some support.

  • College is a vital time in your life. You are working on not only your coursework, but also on the more fundamental process of becoming you. Being away from your parents, exploring the kind of life you want to live, experiencing adult friendships and relationships , and making future plans and decisions are all exciting ventures. They’re also sometimes lonely, scary, or sad, and it may feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have their life mapped out.

    Therapy can be a wonderful resource for you at this time. I love working with college students, and will support you as you work though the challenges of finding your way in the word as a young adult. I’ll help you accept your mistakes and disappointments and will encourage you to advocate for yourself in ways that help you feel happy an at home in the world.

    I look forward to learning about the life you’re building now and to supporting you in becoming the person you most want to be.

  • A large percentage of my work involves psychotherapy with other healthcare providers. I see many doctors, nurses, and other therapists in my practice, and I deeply value being able to be of support to people who are working so hard to take care of the people in their communities. The pandemic has changed so much about our healthcare system, and I know that you are likely feeling some exhaustion and burnout even if you truly love your work. 

    Healthcare professionals often carry high levels of responsibility, internal pressure, and concern for others, sometimes while minimizing their own needs. I work with clinicians navigating burnout, emotional exhaustion, identity questions, and the complexities of seeking support in a profession that values competence and endurance.

    Being able to work by telehealth has made it much easier to see healthcare providers. I talk to many of you from your cars or offices, and am used to making changes in appointment times and methodologies as your schedules shift. I know how hard and how rewarding your jobs can be, and I am happy to lend you support as you navigate the particular needs and stressors of your essential work.
