I provide perinatal mental health counseling for men and their relationships, whether expecting a child or already postpartum and in the midst of parenthood.

From imagination and preparation, to the threshold and experience of birth, to the 4th trimester and beyond, stepping into parenthood is ultimately like jumping in at the deep end. During this wildly beautiful and challenging transition it can be helpful to talk with someone, so that you can be anchored in what is important and meaningful to you.

I'm particularly honored to work with men on paternal well-being, since dads/dads-to-be who are well, grounded in their values and commitments, can show up for their families in ways they prefer. As a father, I know we often long for the kind of support that makes a big difference in adapting to this new life. I also work with couples, because sometimes we need everybody in the room in order to figure things out in a way that works. Babies are welcome to join us during our conversations!

My perinatal therapeutic work is shaped by my clinical training in systemic family therapy and narrative therapy. It's also informed by nonviolent communication and Magda Gerber's Principles of Educaring. I've completed additional training with Postpartum Support International in perinatal mental health and advanced psychotherapy.
