New & Expecting Parents
Becoming parents is one of life’s most exciting transitions: joyful, but also exhausting and overwhelming.
In the midst of navigating this new life phase, it’s common for your relationship to slip to the back burner. While it’s true that partnerships often change when we welcome little humans into the mix (and satisfaction can dip), that dip is not inevitable.
Your relationship can thrive in this chapter, and a strong partnership can be your greatest resource for navigating the emotional and physical challenges of parenthood.
As a mom of two young boys, I know firsthand how overwhelming the transition to parenthood can feel.
From my own experience, and from supporting many couples through this stage, I’ve learned that guided, intentional conversations about the changes you’re facing can make all the difference. With support, you can navigate this chapter as a team and come out not just intact, but stronger than ever.
I offer two ways to work with me: one-on-two sessions for deeper, more personalized support, or group sessions for shared learning and connection. You can choose the option that best fits your needs, schedule, and budget.

Tending To Your Twosome
An 8-week program just for the two of you to strengthen your partnership as you become parents.
This is my signature program designed to create space to discuss the hard and important questions in a supportive, confidential setting with just the two of you and me. Each week focuses on a different key topic while still leaving room to adapt or extend our work if you’d like to go deeper.

Preparing Your Partnership for Parenthood
A 1 day intensive group workshop to build your skills and create community.
Drawing from the Gottman Institute’s Bringing Baby Home Program, this workshop can help prepare you for life with a baby, teaching you skills to navigate conflict and communication with your partner and foster your baby’s development. Add your name to the waitlist to be notified of future offerings.
Please note: this workshop is for educational purposes only and is not a replacement for therapy.

Both programs can help you strengthen your relationship and prepare for the addition of a baby to your family. The Preparing Your Partnership for Parenthood workshop is for educational purposes and happens in a group setting while Tending To Your Twosome will feel more like therapy and offers a deeper and more personalized level of exploration and discussion. The best way to figure out which program is best for you is to set up a consultation with me. I can explain the differences and we can figure out what the best fit is for you.

If you already have little ones, then you know just how valuable it can be to really be on the same page as your partner. Preparing Your Partnership for Parenthood is geared more towards expecting couples and offers an opportunity to build community with other soon to be parents, but Tending To Your Twosome can easily be tailored to your situation whether you are expecting or already have kids.
-
The Preparing Your Partnership for Parenthood workshop is only offered in-person, which helps to encourage connections with other couples who are in the same boat. Although in-person is preferable for the Tending To Your Twosome program, virtual is a possibility if there are scheduling or location constraints.
