Prior to working at Wild Hope, I worked on a grant that served mothers in the Kansas City area struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression. Through this project, I was able to guide many women through their mental health journeys and watch them grow and succeed in unimaginable ways. The invisible load of motherhood is real, and I'd love to help create a judgment free space for you to process your thoughts and feelings as you adjust to this life transition.

Does anxiety ever feel like a hamster wheel? Situations cause you to feel anxious, so you avoid them or overcompensate, which only leads you to feel like you need to avoid or overcompensate more the next time. Do you experience panic attacks? Do you find yourself ruminating on what ifs or should haves? I was trained by the Beck Institute to utilize strategies including exposure, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness to break the cycle of anxiety.

I have training and years of experience treating all levels of depression utilizing CBT strategies. Whether you experience suicidal thoughts, irritability, extreme fatigue, or any combination of other depression-related symptoms, there is hope to feel different. Through practice adjusting behaviors, challenging automatic thoughts, and restructuring core beliefs, you can climb out of the pit of depression.

CBT is a short term, present focused, action oriented approach. With practice, you'll learn to harness the power that you have to shift your mood by changing your behaviors, challenging your automatic thoughts, and restructuring core beliefs. I have received extensive training in CBT from experts at the Beck Institute, and I have seen first hand in my practice how individuals change the trajectory of their lives by putting these skills into practice.
