Your maternal moments matter. Your story matters. Pregnancy related mental health can be complicated. It is a mixture of hormones and emotions that can be daunting to acknowledge, let alone process. It can be easy to get lost in life’s hills and valleys. I am familiar with the complexities of this transformative experience intimately. Both as a seasoned social worker and as a mother. I value the opportunity to journey with you in a neutral, shame-free space in efforts to explore your hurts, fears, frustrations, and most unsettling thoughts. My ultimate goal is to hear your heart and empower you with the tools/strategies needed to navigate challenges confidently. I draw upon evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your unique needs in an honest, direct, yet gentle approach. You can expect compassionate listening in an empathetic environment where you will learn, heal, and grow. Personal wellness is an investment of internal and external resources. I welcome you to contact me with any questions you my have. Schedule an appointment when you are ready. Whether it be preconception, pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, infant loss, postpartum, fostercare, adoption, and/or navigating older children. Your feelings matter. You matter.
