About My Clients
My clients are mainly moms and birthing parents who need mental health support during pregnancy and postpartum, or who have older children and need help resolving parenting issues or improving their self-care. Sometimes depression, anxiety, or relationship issues can creep in and start to take over. Sometimes my clients weren't parented in a healthy way themselves and don't feel prepared for this enormous task ahead. Whatever you are struggling with, we will work through it together.
My Background and Approach
I primarily practice person-centered therapy, which means that I have a deep respect and trust in your natural ability to grow and heal given the right conditions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I'm here to provide a safe and empathetic space for you slow down and sort through what's in your heart. In addition to my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree, I also have special training in perinatal mental health, child development, and have worked as a school counselor, crisis counselor, and have studied a variety of evidence-based therapies. At your first session, I will take time to get to know you, what you hope to get out of therapy, and if you have had any previous helpful or unhelpful therapy experiences. We will then come up with a plan together with your mental health goals and what approach works best for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a mom of two, I know how self-abandonment can become the norm and we forget that we need nurturing too. Parenting is often the hardest and most growthful experience of our lives. Many times issues from the past come up that you believed were already resolved. It's not inherently unhealthy to put another person's needs first, but often it takes practice and support to learn to balance that with what we need. I offer an inclusive and welcoming space where you can bring your whole self and all of your experiences to the room.
