Services / Perinatal
The relationship after the baby is a different relationship.
You're not the same. The body's not the same. The intimacy isn't the same. And no one warned you any of that was normal.

What this addresses
If any of this is in your living room.
You don’t need to have all of these boxes checked. One is enough to reach out.
- 01Identity and role shifts after becoming a parent
- 02Relationship strain, resentment, and division-of-labor friction
- 03Body changes and the complicated feelings that come with them
- 04Intimacy disruption — physical and emotional
- 05Postpartum overwhelm, grief, rage, and anxiety
- 06Birth experiences that are still living in the body
How this works
The shape of the work.
Trained birth doula plus licensed therapist — we hold the clinical and the human in the same room.
We don't require you to have your feelings sorted before you show up. We sort them here.
Partners are welcome. Often, they're essential.

Format
In-person in Jacksonville, FL · or virtual across FL and CO
Anytime from trying-to-conceive through the first two years after birth. Earlier is better if you're anxious, carrying previous loss, or want a partner conversation before baby arrives. Never too late if you're months or years postpartum and still feel off.
No. Non-gestational partners are welcome and often needed. Postpartum is a couple event; treating it like a solo one is how relationships quietly break.
Fill out the inquiry form on the Contact page. You'll hear back within 48 hours, usually same-day, with a 20-minute consultation slot. The consult is free and exists for one reason: to make sure this is the right fit before either of us commits.
Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Most weekly clients come weekly at the start and taper to every other week once momentum is there. Couples sessions sometimes run 80 minutes — you'll know before booking.
Less intake form, more conversation. I ask what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what a better version of this looks like. By the end of the first session, you'll leave with a clear plan for the next few.
No. If you're in acute crisis, call or text 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest ER. This practice is set up for ongoing work, not emergencies.
Both. In-person is available at the Jacksonville, FL office. Virtual sessions are available anywhere in Florida or Colorado — secure video, no download required.

Couples
Couples Therapy
For partners who are tired of circling the same fight, or tired of not fighting at all. We rebuild the emotional baseline so the hard conversations stop being disasters.

Desire discrepancy, avoidance, shame, body stuff, the aftermath of religion or purity culture — we go where weekly therapy usually doesn't.
