I specialize in "Moms," working mostly with women throughout different phases of motherhood including those trying to conceive, soon-to-be, new and seasoned mothers. Protecting and supporting mental health throughout each phase may look different for each client; however, my approach is always centered on creating a warm, supportive and relatable space. I focus on connection and find space for humor. I normalize so much of what women experience along this journey in becoming "Mom" but also provide real skills to use in daily life.
My experience and passion focus on improving the lives of women. I specialize as a pregnancy and postpartum mental health expert (fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss/infant loss, traumatic birth, coping with a NICU stay, anxiety/depression during pregnancy/postpartum period, adjustment to parenthood) but welcome clients outside of this population.
You've already taken your first step in looking for support, take your next step to CONNECT. I offer free phone consults, flexible scheduling and a secure client portal. New clients are scheduled quickly with no waitlist. Why not start today?!
