Do you struggle with stress, anxiety or self care? We don’t always know when we will be faced with life’s challenges, but one thing is for sure challenges will come and although can be difficult to contend with, they are manageable. I utilize a holistic approach to treatment that considers the whole person including spiritual needs, rather than just your mental health. Spiritual focus may be meaning of life and forgiveness. Self-care can look different for everyone, but it should promote health and happiness.

Within time, the side effects of the trauma(s) begin manifesting themselves—in terms of addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, self-harm, and/or other maladaptive behaviors.
According to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” I disagree! Instead, trauma, if left unprocessed/untreated, it has the potential to cause unnecessary and significant mental distress. Throughout our lives, we, the vast majority of us, may experience traumatic events (micro and/or macro). During these trauma(s)—our role is simple—Survival. After the event(s), when we find ourselves on the other side of the trauma(s), again—our role is simple—To Go On With Life.

With advanced training in Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I specialize in working with moms experiencing anxiety, depression, and the dynamics of the evolving relationship with themselves and others.
Your mental health as a mother has taken a turn. You feel overwhelmed and overstimulated throughout the day. You are so much to everyone else that it often times is hard to remember who you are. You're constantly worried that something may happen to your baby or that you aren't doing enough as a mother. You knew motherhood would be hard but you didn't know the transition would come with so much anxiety or even depression. There are so many people around yet you feel alone in your experiences. You knew motherhood would be different but you weren't expecting this much change in your relationships, your personality, or your goals.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice.
