Hi there! I'm a therapist with a certified specialty in perinatal mental health. I utilize holistic and innovative methods to treat life's common (and some not so common) speed-bumps - the ones that usually leave us feeling like we're trapped in frustrating cycles or tapped out energetically. My life's work and passion is all about holding space for clients who are ready to own their stories and transform their lives. I aim to work with individuals who are ready to become empowered to make a return to their most authentic self! If you are looking for a counselor who is creative, non-judgmental & laid back, we may be a great fit.
My certification in perinatal mental health makes anyone on a parenting or family planning journey a great fit. I also work with highly sensitive persons (HSP's), survivors of emotional/narcissistic trauma and abuse, those struggling with self-acceptance or low self-esteem, and individuals who are seeking meaning and purpose in their lives.
Life is an ongoing growth process that certainly does not come without its share of growing pains, roadblocks and difficulties. You are more than deserving of compassionate support throughout your journey's ups and downs. If you feel that you and I might work well together, know that I am looking forward to speaking with you.
