Trauma leaves you feeling a sense of heaviness that’s hard to shake. But, you’re someone who is driven to exceed and has grit. Yet, you still find yourself being held back by past experiences, sometimes feeling agitated and snapping at family and regretting it. Sleep does not come easily anymore as memories keep you up in the middle of the night. But, you are ready for change. Ready to get a handle on the agitation and anger. Ready to improve your relationships. Ready to rest and continue with your life and shake the heaviness of your past. I want to help you get there.

As the mama of young kiddos, who is also coping with life’s transitions, I’ve made it my mission to help mamas thrive throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey, ensuring a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle for years to come. During my first maternity leave, I thought to myself, if I can help mamas manage their mental health and wellbeing (so they don't have to feel like I do right now), I can prevent kiddos from ever needing to come to see me. So, with that epiphany, I became fully trained to work with Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International & have since added Brainspotting to best treat Mama Trauma.

I help women and college students who identify as emotionally sensitive. You may struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, losing yourself in others, setting boundaries, or trauma. This heightened compassion is your super power! It is the source of your creativity, your passion, and your intuition! But in our culture, it can often be met with criticism leading us to feel as though we don’t belong. We learn to push away our emotions to gain acceptance only to feel more isolated. My clients want to step out of conditioning based in shame, patriarchy, and trauma and learn to trust their gifts, emotions, and intuition!

I approach therapy from a viewpoint of balance between therapeutic relationship and skills-based intervention that are best fit for the individuals involved. My background in therapy includes primarily working with children, adolescents, and families including youth in foster care. These experiences created a foundation of viewing attachment and secure relationships as a foundation for mental health wellbeing. I continue to practice from this lens and hold it as a central component throughout treatment. From this basis we will consider what approach will work best to help you along your path towards growth and healing.

You and your partner are struggling to communicate. The emotional intimacy has lost its spark and physical connection is fading. We aren't connecting and the stress is high. You want to heal together instead of growing apart. You want to be a better partner! You need to shake up how you talk to each other in order to make this to work; there is so much at stake to maintain the relationship you've built. There is so much you want to share with your partner, and you need help learning how to engage again. You can learn how to be vulnerable with one another by increasing your communication skills and learning how to listen again.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
