Support on the path to parenthood — and all that follows
Compassionate, evidence-based therapy for the challenges, changes, and complexities that come with trying to conceive, becoming a parent, and raising a family.
Maybe this isn’t what you imagined it would be.
You may have had a picture in your mind of how this would all go. And then life happens.
You could be trying to conceive, coping with a loss in the midst of your pregnancy or postpartum experience, or finding that parenting itself looks and feels very different from what you imagined.
Parenthood can be meaningful, joyful, exhausting, disorienting—and occasionally completely absurd. Sometimes all in the same day.
You might feel anxious or overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. You may be questioning whether you’re doing any of this “right,” struggling with how much has changed, or realizing there’s very little space left for you in your own life.
Therapy can be a place to talk honestly about all of it—the parts you expected and the parts you didn’t—and to figure out what you need as you move through whatever comes next.
How I can support you
Fertility & Family Building
You may find yourself thinking, planning, waiting, making decisions, and grieving in ways you never anticipated—all while trying to build your family. Along the way, you’re introduced to a whole new vocabulary you never wanted to know.
Therapy can offer a place for all of it—the hope, the grief, the frustration, the uncertainty, and the emotional toll of not knowing what comes next.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Pregnancy and postpartum can somehow be so much better and so much harder than anything you imagined—sometimes at exactly the same time. Your body, your relationships, your priorities, and your sense of who you are can all feel like they’re shifting at once.
Therapy can give you space to be honest about what this experience is actually like for you, without having to make it sound better—or worse—than it is.
Loss & Grief
Loss changes the shape of everything that follows. When loss becomes part of your path to parenthood, grief doesn’t follow a predictable course—and it may not look the way you expect it to.
Therapy can offer a place to grieve what happened, talk about the things that may be difficult to say anywhere else, and make room for whatever you’re feeling without needing to rush toward what comes next.
Parenting Through the Hard Stuff
Becoming a parent changes things. So does continuing to be one.
You may be navigating anxiety, difficult family dynamics, your child’s needs, shifting relationships, old experiences getting stirred up, or simply feeling stretched too thin.
Therapy can be a place to make sense of how parenting is affecting you—not just as a parent, but as a person.
Therapy that feels like a conversation, because it is.
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as you are—not as the version of yourself you think you’re supposed to be.
My approach is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I’ll listen closely and make space for what you’re going through, but I won’t just sit back and nod. I’ll ask questions, offer perspective, and be honest about what I notice—not to tell you what to do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly and decide what feels right for you.
There’s room for the hard stuff here, and there’s room to laugh, too. You don’t need to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or make it sound nice. We’ll start with where you are and figure it out together.
Hi, I’m Jenny
I’m a therapist who works with people through the complicated, messy, meaningful parts of trying to build a family, becoming a parent, and raising one.
I bring more than 15 years of experience working with individuals and families through major life transitions, trauma, and change. My work is evidence-based and trauma-informed, but just as important to me is creating a relationship where you feel comfortable being honest—even when what you have to say is complicated, uncomfortable, or not particularly pretty.
I believe you know yourself and your life better than anyone else. My job isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to help you understand what’s happening, recognize patterns, explore what matters to you, and make choices that feel like your own.

You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on before reaching out.
We can start with a conversation about what’s bringing you here and whether working together feels like a good fit.
