Hello! I'm Connie. I’m passionate about supporting women, parents, couples, and families as they navigate fertility, pregnancy, birth, and parenting, and I’ve devoted my professional life to this work. I was drawn to perinatal mental health after realizing that the most impactful way I could help families is by walking alongside parents—and those hoping to become parents—so they feel heard and held during the foundational years of this monumental transition. As a mother myself, I understand how enormous this shift can be, and how essential it is to have a space for non-judgmental exploration, support, and healing during a time when you are holding so much. I offer a steady, compassionate, and grounding space where individuals and couples can slow down, find clarity, and process. I can help you feel safer in your body and mind, find steadiness amid uncertainty, and build trust and ease in yourself and your relationships. Connection, presence, and joy are possible - even in the midst of challenge. I can help you find your way there!
I help individuals, parents, and couples navigating perinatal & parenting related anxiety, depression, and OCD; childhood wounds impacting parenting; birth trauma; medical system trauma and self-advocacy; body image concerns; relationship challenges; and fertility challenges. I am especially passionate about working with women and parents who don’t always feel that they “fit” society’s narrow ideas of what parents and families should look like — including caregivers with ADHD, highly sensitive parents, those parenting through the impacts of trauma, LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, parents and children with disabilities, single parents, parents without living children, people with non-dominant identities, and anyone struggling to feel confident or secure in their parenting and/or sense of self.
My work is grounded in theories and practices of attachment, neuroscience, somatic work, and trauma-focused care, and I integrate psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, IFS, and somatic approaches to support deep, lasting healing. As we work together, I can help you identify the beliefs that keep you stuck and understand where they come from, offer language to help you make sense of your inner experience, help you work with your nervous system to experience more ease in your emotions, and guide you in processing and integrating wounds and trauma. Together, we’ll work to help you feel safer in your body, find steadiness in uncertainty, and begin to trust yourself again, or for the first time — in your emotions, in your relationships, and in your capacity to heal.
In addition to obtaining my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, I also completed a two-year intensive post-graduate fellowship focused on serving individuals in the perinatal period, which has uniquely equipped me to support this population. I am trained in a variety of modalities, allowing me to meet you where you are and tailor care to your individual needs. In my previous roles, I’ve served as a child and family therapist, community organizer, social and emotional learning educator, abortion doula, and advocate for survivors of sexual violence. These experiences have deeply influenced my current work and have given me a holistic understanding of what meaningful support looks like.
I know first hand how tender this season of life can feel, and how important it is to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. If you’re interested in working together, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you!
