Compassionate Care for Women's Mental Health:
Trauma and Perinatal Specialist
Hello and thank you for your interest in working with me.
​
I specialize in women's mental health with expertise in the treatment of ptsd (trauma) and perinatal mental health. Building a family, aging, and trauma exposure can bring up a lot of different emotions and a new awareness about our relationships and personal identities. I have supported clients to address experiences including anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, sexual assault, childhood abuse, cancer, perimenopause, birth trauma, prenatal & postpartum mood disorders, miscarriage and stillbirth. With support, we have the ability to understand and cope with life's challenges, no matter how overwhelming it might currently feel.
​
Having been in the mental health field for over twenty years, the variety of my professional experience in nonprofit mental health centers, schools and private practice has enriched my clinical skills and informed my approach with clients from diverse backgrounds. Using current and effective therapeutic interventions, my approach is genuine & collaborative.
​
I really enjoy the opportunity and feel fortunate, as a therapist, to form authentic professional relationships to support the improvement of someone's experience and meaning in their life. By working together, my goal is for therapy to feel safe, effective, and accessible.
