My passion is supporting all new mothers and mothers-to-be as they navigate the journey of motherhood. While there's a wealth of information on pregnancy and prenatal care, there's very little out there to support mothers, babies, and families during the postpartum phase.

Updated 9/12/23: Accepting new virtual clients. - By deciding to engage in therapy you have already made a commitment to bettering yourself and initiating change. Let’s celebrate that! Taking a meaningful look at our day-to-day lives and pasts can be daunting-let’s create a tender and safe atmosphere to wade through this process together. Too often, our mental health challenges are reduced to diagnosis, labels, and text-book definitions that don’t quite fit—my approach departs from these systems and is more rooted in holistic and relational healing.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

Sometimes life is hard and having someone you can talk to who is educated, experienced and honest can be beneficial in helping you find ways to deal with hard times. Therapy is a great tool that will allow you to have a better understanding of who you are and why you feel and react the way that you do or why you don't! I believe that therapy is not something that is "cookie cutter" it is individualized to every person based on a combination of things. Therapy is effective when you have an open mind and are willing to make changes, while understanding that the process to getting yourself to a better mental/emotional place takes time.
