About My Clients
If becoming a mom isn’t what you expected—and you’re wondering how other women seem to be getting through it—you’re not alone. My clients often feel worn down, disconnected, or like they’re carrying more than anyone can see. Whether it’s infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or just the emotional weight of motherhood, they know they need more support. That's where I come in. I'm here to help.
My Background and Approach
I’m a doctoral-level licensed clinical social work therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting women and families. I earned my degrees from Vanderbilt, Emory, and the University of Tennessee, and I’ve completed specialty training in maternal mental health through Postpartum Support International and The Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health. I also serve as a social work professor, where my academic work focuses on uplifting women—especially mothers—in the workplace. While I bring strong clinical training and a solid educational background to my practice, I believe my most important credential is my lived experience. Becoming a mom myself was life-changing—and hard. That journey gives me deep empathy for the women I support. My approach to therapy is personal, relational, and entirely tailored to you. I believe every woman’s story is unique, and so is the care she deserves. I’m here to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and with strategies that actually help.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you deserve a therapist who truly sees you, hears you, and honors your experience. I know what it’s like to struggle with the stress and overwhelm of infertility, pregnancy, and new motherhood—and to feel like you can’t talk about it. In our therapy sessions, nothing is too taboo. I’m someone you can talk to, and I can help. I pride myself on providing excellent care, clear communication, and support that’s both compassionate and evidence-based. I’m transparent about why I do this work: I’m a mom, too, and my path into motherhood wasn’t easy. My lived experience with infertility and postpartum anxiety shapes my approach to care—it helps me understand just how vital it is to be met with empathy, not judgment. If it feels helpful, I’m open to sharing more about my story in therapy. Many women find comfort simply knowing that I get it, even if we never talk about me.
