Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples Seattle, WA. Seattle

When the Path to Parenthood Changes Everything.

Infertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Early Parenthood

Online therapy serving Washington State

Becoming a parent — or trying to — has a way of shaking things you didn't know could be shaken. Your sense of self. Your relationship. Your body. Your idea of what this was supposed to look like.

Even when things go right, it can feel overwhelming. And when they don't — when the path is harder, longer, or more painful than you ever imagined — the weight of it can be almost impossible to carry alone.

You're not supposed to just push through this. And you're not supposed to be fine.

Infertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Early Parenthood Therapy

This might be where you are:

Going through fertility treatments and feeling like your body, your emotions, and your relationship are no longer your own
Pregnant after loss, wrestling with fear or a quiet dread when everyone around you expects only joy
Postpartum and feeling touched out, anxious, resentful, or grieving an identity you're not sure you'll get back
Crying at 2am while feeding your baby and not entirely sure why
Navigating the relentless exhaustion of early parenthood and feeling more like co-managers than partners
Processing a miscarriage, stillbirth, traumatic birth, or the loss of a child — and carrying something that doesn't have easy language
Feeling disconnected from your partner at the exact moment you need each other most

THIS WORK MATTERS.

Reproductive challenges and the transition to parenthood don't just affect your body. They affect your identity, your relationship, your sense of safety, and your ability to connect — with your partner, with your baby, and with yourself. It's no wonder so many people feel profoundly isolated even when surrounded by people who love them.

I bring both clinical training and personal experience to this work. I've sat with others through these struggles, and I've lived through several of them myself. I know firsthand why getting support during this season matters — not just for your mental health, but for your relationship and your capacity to show up for the people who need you.

This isn't a place where you have to perform okayness. You're allowed to grieve, rage, go numb, or fall apart. And you're allowed to want more for yourself and your relationship — even now.

Couples & Individual Therapy for Infertility, Pregnancy, Post Partum, and Early Parenthood

How I Work

Using EFT and an attachment-based, trauma-informed lens, we'll slow down enough to understand what this season is actually doing to you — underneath the exhaustion, the anxiety, the disconnection, or the grief. We'll work on rebuilding your sense of self and your connection to your partner, developing tools for nervous system regulation, and finding more self-compassion for the parts of this experience that feel hardest to admit.

This is tender work. I treat it that way.

About the approach

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy as the foundation — the same attachment science that underpins all of my couples and individual work — alongside a trauma-informed approach specific to reproductive and perinatal experiences.
