Every stage - from family planning to parenthood - brings both beauty and struggle. It’s easy to get disconnected when navigating this stage of life. Reconnect and deepen your bond in couples therapy.

I work from an evidence-based couples therapy approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT/EFCT). EFT is grounded in attachment theory & promotes creating a secure attachment with yourself, with your partner, and between you and your children.

Family planning & parenthood seem to constantly throw us curveballs. It’s a total identity shift and can bring up a lot of unexpected, big emotions. It’s not uncommon for family planning & parenthood to activate parts of ourselves we aren’t familiar with. It can be really overwhelming.

It’s extremely easy to become disconnected during this time.

We can learn a lot about ourselves & our relationship when parenting. Learn how to be emotionally available to yourself & to your partner so you can be emotionally available to your children. Let me help you lighten the load & get reconnected.

Together, we can navigate:

• Grief & Loss

  • The emotional impact of miscarriage, infertility, or loss of a child.

• Parenting Stress & Overload

  • Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities and/or lack of support.

  • Frequent conflict about parenting styles, responsibilities, and roles.

• Relationship Strain After Becoming Parents

  • Loss of connection or intimacy since trying to conceive and/or having children

  • Difficulty balancing time for each other and parenting demands

• Division of Labor / Mental Load Imbalance

• Postpartum Adjustment

• Extended Family or In-law Conflict

• Sexual Intimacy

  • Changes in desire, physical discomfort, or emotional connection after children.

• Life Transitions

  • Adding another child, moving, job changes, returning to work, etc.

*As a fellow parent, I know scheduling another appointment can feel daunting. I’m happy to work with you on this. If it’s easier, feel free to schedule a virtual appointment during nap time, after morning drop off, after bedtime, etc. If your baby is 12 months or younger, they are welcome to join us!
