Becoming a mother is expected to be one of the best times of a woman's life, so when we have difficulty conceiving or feel down when we are pregnant or postpartum, we feel alone and guilty. Know that you are not alone and you can get through Infertility and recover from maternal mental health issues. Dealing with chronic medical challenges, Infertility or pregnancy loss can leave you feeling drained emotionally, physically and financially. My goal at Bloom Psychotherapy Center is to help women grow through these difficult periods, develop the tools to heal and bloom into the Best version of themselves!

I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings with a variety of clients and bring decades of experience to your therapy. I have taught at colleges and am a published author. My private practice focuses on individual therapy with adults, with a special emphasis on PTSD and other anxiety disorders. I believe every client and his or her situation is unique. I do not believe a one-size fit all approach to therapy. I may use EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, solution-oriented and even plain old common sense and humor in our work together. I consider therapy a joint effort, a partnership, a "We're in this together" experience.

Many of us as children are not taught how to manage or healthfully express our feelings, let alone experience our emotions being heard and validated by others. As adults, we may then have difficulties navigating relationships, coping with life stressors, and struggling with low self esteem. Whether you are an adult that had big feelings as a child and it seemed no one cared, or you care for a child that has big feelings and want to set them up on the path of successfully managing their mental health, I am here to support you and your needs. No matter who you are, or what you have been through, your feelings are always valid.
