Licensed Professional Counselor & Perinatal Mental Health Certified

Asking for mental health support can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.

The journey won’t always be smooth or easy. That’s why it’s best not to go alone when you need additional mental health support. Let me tell you a little about my experience and approach.

I specialize in perinatal mental health with a focus on miscarriage, infertility, and trauma related to the pregnancy or birthing experience. You can expect a perinatal-focused session with me to be filled with compassion, patience, and strengths-based, practical approaches. Pregnancy, miscarriage, and parenting can be filled with intense and conflicting emotions. Trust me, I know from personal experience that there’s no right way to feel. And therefore you receive no judgment from me.

Non-birthing parents can get perinatal mental health disorders and experience birth trauma too! Each parent postpartum has their own mental health support needs. Feeling anxious about leaving your newborn? Let’s talk about options to help you feel comfortable and get the post-natal support you need. After my own difficult journey with postpartum mental health and miscarriage, these tender parent issues are something very close to my heart.

While working towards my certification in sex therapy, I am open to treating all types of sexual issues. I have experience working with couples and individuals regarding kink, safety, self-pleasure, healing sexual trauma, processing shame, and increasing self-confidence. The intersectionality of perinatal/maternal/women’s mental health and sex therapy is a special focus of mine. Other issues I enjoy treating include relationships, trauma, and anxiety.

I also have extensive experience and I experience a lot of joy in working with my teen clients. I especially enjoy working with teens who have experienced traumatic or scary mental health symptoms in their life, such as self injury, PTSD memory flashbacks, or if they’re needing support while exploring their sexual or gender identity.

However the real question you may be wondering is this: what would a session with me be like? As a therapist, I’m fairly practical. I focus on real life mental health solutions that fit your lifestyle. I keep my roots in feminist and reality therapies, but I approach each client and session with eclectic options that fit each client’s needs.

If you find yourself resonating with my approach, it would be my privilege to support and guide you on this healing journey.
