About My Clients
You’ve always been the one who holds it all together. Now you’re pregnant, postpartum, or deep in parenting, and you barely recognize yourself. Maybe your birth story still feels heavy, the anxiety won’t quiet down, or your relationship feels different. Maybe your child’s brain works differently, or you’re neurodivergent and finally seeing it. Maybe perimenopause has you wondering what’s happening to your body and mood. You’re searching for yourself again, and you don’t have to do it alone.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor with a master’s in School Counseling. My years in school counseling taught me how kids grow, struggle, and heal, so when you bring parenting worries into session, you get support grounded in child development and attachment. I’m completing advanced perinatal mental health training and working toward my PMH-C, which means care for pregnancy and postpartum that goes deeper than general therapy. I’ve also trained extensively in play therapy, including Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, so I can give you practical tools to connect with your child. I’m trained in trauma and neurodivergence, including ADHD, autism, 2E, and sensory processing. Whether you’re neurodivergent or parenting a child who is, you won’t have to explain the basics. In session, I draw on IFS/parts work, ACT, expressive arts, and sand tray. These give you more ways to process than talking alone, which helps when words feel hard to find.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that when a baby is born, a mother is born too. That shift deserves real support, and no mom should feel like she has to white-knuckle her way through it. I also believe access to maternal mental health care isn’t equal. Black, Indigenous, and other moms of color, immigrant moms, rural moms, and families with fewer resources face more barriers to getting help. I want my office to be a place where you’re welcomed and taken seriously. I’m proud to offer identity-affirming care to LGBTQ+ parents and parents-to-be. Your family is a real family, and your care should reflect that. I’m a big believer in owning your story, an idea from Brené Brown that I come back to often. So much of parenting is reparenting ourselves, and our kids have a way of showing us where we still have work to do. I’m doing that work too. Living in Mexico and exploring national parks have shaped how I see the world: with curiosity, respect for difference, and a lot of awe.
