Nurture Therapy

Grounded, supportive, and empathetic therapy to help you nurture yourself and your relationships.

my approach

At the heart of my therapeutic approach lies a commitment to creating a nurturing space where you feel seen, valued, and understood. We’ll work collaboratively to empower you to take meaningful steps towards a fulfilling and balanced life. I also believe that therapy should be more than just a warm space and a listening ear. I’ll help you challenge lifelong patterns, address old wounds and traumas, and create a deeper and more compassionate sense of self.

my specialties

Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health

The journey toward motherhood or parenthood is full of unexpected challenges, joys, and profound change. This unique season is a time of significant psychological growth and self-discovery. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health, and have special expertise in working to support your mental health as you navigate pregnancy and postpartum.
EMDR Therapy and Trauma Recovery

Trauma-informed therapy can help you heal and regain a sense of balance and joy. I utilize somatic techniques to help you feel more at ease in your body and begin to integrate and process traumatic memories. I’m also trained in EMDR therapy, an evidence based approach to the treatment of trauma.
Perinatal Trauma

Perinatal trauma is a term used to describe emotionally traumatic events that occur during pregnancy, birth, or in postpartum. If you had a challenging birth, experienced pregnancy loss, or encountered medical trauma or complications in pregnancy or postpartum, you might be living with the impacts of perinatal trauma. I utilize evidence-based approaches to trauma treatment and have advanced training and expertise in the unique challenges of healing from perinatal trauma.
NICU and medically complex parenting

If your baby is currently in the NICU or previously spent time in an intensive care unit, or if your child is living with complex medical needs, you might need support through this uniquely challenging time. As a fellow NICU parent, I have a special place in my heart for supporting families on this journey.
Couples Therapy

Couples therapy can help you feel more connected, learn valuable tools for communication, and help you manage any challenges your relationship might encounter. I especially love working with new parents to navigate the transition to parenthood and reconnect in this new phase. I approach my work with couples from an emotionally-focused and attachment-based lens.
Disordered Eating and Body Image

Addressing body image challenges requires a holistic approach, combining mental health care, self-compassion, and strengthening your support systems. Together we’ll explore the root causes of your challenges with your body and eating, and help you create a healthier relationship with yourself. I also work as a therapist at a residential treatment center for eating disorders, and bring expertise to my work in this area.
