About My Clients
I work most often parents, often moms, who are experiencing high levels of emotional stess, depression, and anxiety. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, including community college students, and I particularly enjoy working with perinatal/postpartum clients and parents. I aim to provide compassionate and evidence-based care for clients with anxiety/OCD, depression, life transitions, grief and pregnancy loss, infertility, and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
My Background and Approach
I tend to approach therapy from a values-based, empowering, and client-directed framework. I tend to use a lot of techniques that encourage clients to connect with what they care about most, begin to explore their thoughts/feelings without self-jugement, and explore how past experiences shape their lives in the present. In addition to my training in clinical social work, my approach is informed by specialized training in perinatal mental health (PSI's Mood/Anxiety Disorders training) and my own experience as a loss mom and a parent. In therapy, I help client define specific treatment goals and we work towards those goals together in a compassionate, affirming space that honors the client's own inner strength.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strongly believe that all clients have the right to find and choose quality therapy that fits their needs, so I aim to be open and empower clients to choose the approach that works best for them. In therapy, I also value financial accessability and aim to make my services affordable to those who need it. I also consider myself a strong advocate for perinatal/reproductive health and justice, as in the United States maternal morbidity and mortality are on the rise due to structural inequity, racism, and inequitites in healthcare access.
