Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Covington, WA

I am committed to creating a warm, inclusive, and compassionate environment where you are supported in becoming your best self. I work primarily with those seeking support for issues related to prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum periods. This may include: life transitions, relational challenges, trauma, pregnancy, birth, postpartum period, infertility, reproductive losses and early years of parenting. I also work with those who have relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and highly sensitive and/or empathetic persons.

Immediate openings available! I specialize in perinatal mental health, but enjoy supporting parents all along the spectrum of their journey to growing a family. I have specialized training and experience working with people that are facing the challenges of trying to conceive, pregnancy/postpartum, unexpected birth experiences, parenting small children, and loss. In addition to this speciality, I have focused my work in supporting children and adults around themes of trauma, attachment challenges, mood issues (depression/anxiety), identity exploration, self-esteem, relationships, body image, parenting, spirituality, and grief/loss.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, a challenging relationship, loss of a sense of self, parenting struggles, that affect your daily life, relationships, ability to function, work, career? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, just getting through the day, answering emails, texts or calls, the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you question, wonder, hope that life could be better? Now more than ever, people are anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain about overcoming a difficult relationship, working through a loss, finding their place in life.

When we allow ourselves to be transformed by our life’s experiences, they have valuable lessons to teach us; nothing is wasted. By leaning into our challenges, we can emerge more resilient, compassionate, and able to live a life of gratitude for all that shaped us into who we are. I take a non-judgmental holistic view honoring each person’s unique mind, body, relational, & spiritual identities. I have a sense of cultural humility and a deep appreciation for diversity. I empathetically collaborate with my clients throughout their journey, meeting them in their unique circumstances. I value authenticity, acceptance, & social justice.

Therapy is a a collaborative process in which we use your own strengths to help you live the life you desire.

Limited Morning only availability at this time. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I primarily work with adolescents and young adults. I believe that the therapeutic relationship above all can provide an opportunity to heal, grow, and learn about oneself as an individual in the world. That human connection in counseling is powerful. Sometimes asking for help can be difficult and my view of facing that challenge, is why not utilize all the resources we have in life to find connection, joy, and skills for success. If you are facing challenges in life and need somewhere to explore these, email me!

Are you an introvert? How about a busy parent with no time to set aside for hour-long sessions? Or do you dread face-to-face interaction when working through life's challenges? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, I invite you to schedule an appointment. My goal as a therapist is to create safe spaces for all my clients, tailored to their unique needs and preferences. The first session is video to meet each other per Washington State requirements and after that you can do text, video or no video sessions. When you send a message, let me know what your preferred method is.
