Where Do You
Want to Begin?

Each pathway is built around the same core question:

what early attachment experiences are shaping your life today —

and what's possible when you start to heal them?

Families &
The Attachment Experience

For families navigating the earliest chapters of life — pregnancy, birth, loss, postpartum, infant attachment, twins, child welfare, and family repair. I work with the full relational system, from the very beginning.

  • Pre- & perinatal therapy

  • Foster care, adoption & CPS-involved families

  • Family reunification & repair

  • Co-parenting

  • Blended family healing & support

  • Postpartum Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

  • Home visits for bedrest & postpartum support

Couples, Poly, & ENM

For couples, polyamorous constellations, and ENM relationships ready to deepen connection, repair ruptures, or navigate changing relationship structures. I offer inclusive support for all people.

  • Deepening emotional & sexual intimacy

  • Uncoupling & co-parenting

  • Kink-affirming care
