Care Philosophy: I believe each time a child is born, a mother is also born. This change in sense of self and the emotions that come with it are often unpredictable. Coupled with constantly shifting hormones, sleep deprivation, physical discomfort and societal expectations, the postpartum period presents a major life transition mothers struggle through. Many find themselves feeling lost, isolated and alone during a time they anticipated feeling nothing but joy. I am here to support you as you work through your emotions, rediscover yourself through parenthood, find ways to cope with new challenges in life and become the mother you were meant to be. Moms need a village and I want to be part of yours. Please reach out for support, you don't have to take this journey alone.

I am open and non-judgmental. I listen well, and bring a curiosityand a refusal to judgeto your experience that can help you perceive choices and options you didn't know were possible. I want to know what it is like to be you. If we decide to work together, we will use what you tell me, and our relationship, to explore. I'm particularly interested in internal conflictsas, for example, when we "want" one thing but do anotherand in the unconsciousthose things we don't know or understand about ourselves, and about who, why, or how we are. You can learn more about how I work here. I am particularly interested in oppositions, dualities, and spectrumslove and hate; shame and pride; pleasure and pain; vanilla and kink; monogamy, polyamory, and ethical, consensual non-monogamy; and so on.
