This Season Is Asking More of You. You Deserve Support Navigating It.
Specialized PMH-C certified affirming perinatal mental health therapy for fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, and the parenthood journey in Brookfield, WI and virtually across Wisconsin.
The love and the grief.
The beauty and the insecurity.
All of it belongs here. And so do you.
You are on a fertility or conception journey. You are questioning your body, asking why it will not just do what you need it to do, and terrified it might never happen.
You are pregnant or expecting. You are unsure if you are ready, questioning how you will possibly get this right, and quietly grieving parts of yourself you did not expect to lose.
You have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. You are asking if it was your fault, whether it will happen again, and quietly afraid you will never feel joy the way you did before.
You are postpartum and you do not feel like yourself. The fog, the rage, the worry, the emptiness. None of it matches the version of this season you imagined.
You are navigating the identity shift of parenthood. You are overwhelmed by how much this asks of you and have lost your sense of who you are now.
You are a non-gestational parent or partner carrying this journey just as deeply but rarely seeing yourself in the conversation.
You are exactly who this work was built for. This is your space to be fully supported because no one should carry this all alone.
Specialized Support That Truly Understands This Season Changes Everything.
You should never have to spend a session explaining what this journey actually feels like to someone who is supposed to support you through it. You should never leave feeling judged for not being grateful enough or walk away with suggestions that simply do not work for where you actually are.
Specialized perinatal support changes things. From the very first session we get straight to the real work because I already understand this transformation. The grief, the rage, the fear, the confusion, the fundamental identity shifts, none of it requires explanation here. It all belongs and is welcomed.
Clients often arrive wondering if something is wrong with them and leave knowing there never was. They learn that asking for help is not weakness, it is wisdom. The most unexpected gift of this work is realizing they are still themselves, just a new, more expanded version. They walk away feeling confident and proud of who they are becoming and embrace that this transformation is worthy of celebrating.
Expertise Focused on Your Experience
Certified perinatal mental health care and personalized approach for every path of this season.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and one of 8,200 PMH-C certified providers worldwide, I bring advanced knowledge that is specifically designed for the perinatal journey. This is not just therapy adjusted to fit a perinatal situation. This is specialized care that recognizes and honors exactly what you are moving through.
There is actually a word for the profound identity transformation of becoming a parent. Matrescence. It describes the complete psychological, emotional, and relational shift that this season asks of you. Having a provider that understands the complexities of this experience is central to getting true support.
I draw from a rich toolkit including CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, attachment-based work, IPT, and mindfulness-based approaches. I always focus on building something completely personalized for where you are in your journey. Every path to parenthood is honored here. Whether your journey has been exactly what you hoped for or nothing like you planned, this is a space where your full experience belongs.
