I believe that healing happens in the context of safe and secure relationships. For this reason, I seek to create an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, and acceptance that allows clients to improve their personal insight, grow in understanding of their relationships, identify personal needs and values, and “be with” their emotions. I’ve seen that building a strong therapeutic relationship can help people, often rather quickly, start to identify what changes they want for themselves and begin to implement them. It is such an honor for me to get to come alongside to assist and collaborate in this process!

I’m trained and certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International (that’s what the PMH-C after my name refers to). Some examples of issues that can arise during the process of becoming a parent or growing one’s family include perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, relationship stress, difficulty with isolation or role changes, grief and loss, and birthing trauma. As a mom of two young children, I am well-acquainted with many aspects of the parenting journey. This is often a uniquely vulnerable time in someone’s life, and accessing needed support can make a huge difference.

I look forward to meeting with you and hearing your unique story!
