Welcome! Reaching out for help can be a difficult step, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in perinatal mental health, from pre-conception through the early years of parenting. Currently, my practice focuses largely on supporting parents of young children and on the intersection of trauma and parenting, including birth trauma. I also use SPACE - Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions - to treat kids with OCD/anxiety disorders. I consider you to be the expert on your own life and hope that we will work collaboratively to help you move toward a more whole-hearted way of living. I utilize a variety of clinical modalities in my work and am trained in EMDR for clients who wish to discuss if that technique would be a fit. In addition to my training as a social worker, I have a degree in pastoral ministry, which equips me with another set of skills to bring to clients who are interested in exploring the spiritual dimensions of healing. My clinical style is warm, non-judgmental, curious and compassionate, and I truly love the work I get to do. I believe you're doing the best you can in a hard season, and that you deserve support. If you think we might be a good fit to work together, please reach out so we can schedule a free, brief initial phone consult to discuss your hopes for therapy.
