About
I approach counseling and therapy as a collaborative, healing relationship. I am genuine, funny and thoughtful. My speciality includes parental mental health and perinatal mood disorders, traumatic birth, loss, and fertility complications. Often the path to parenting the way you would like to is blocked by struggles to conceive, loss, emotional complications, perinatal anxiety or depression, or having a traumatic or different birth then you envisioned. I will work with you to find the compassion for yourself that you need to create the life you want to have. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional complications of pregnancy/post-partum, adoption support, and relationship challenges. I support parents whose own experiences growing up were challenging and did not prepare them well for parenting. I have specialized training in EMDR, infant parent mental health, and mindfulness techniques. I have advanced training in treatment of postpartum depression, infant/parent mental health, and trauma treatment methods including Eye Movement Rapid Desensitization (EMDR). Additional areas of speciality include creating a family through adoption, especially adoption of an infant or toddler affected by trauma, neglect, or substance exposure.
