My goal is to create a safe space that allows each individual to feel supported and heard in their experience. I believe in the importance of meeting each client where they are, increasing self-awareness, identifying strengths, and working alongside each client towards their treatment goals. I use an empathetic and positive, client-centered approach. I also gravitate towards CBT, Attachment, and Mindfulness in my approach. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum mental health, birth trauma, motherhood, women’s issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, grief & loss, school issues, and life transitions. I am also deeply aligned in working with clients who have experienced perinatal loss.
In January 2024, I became certified through Postpartum Support International as a PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Counselor). I am part of a unique group of specialists that have completed the requirements of Postpartum Support International in trainings of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Advanced Training in Maternal Mental Health. I provide a warm and comforting space for women adjusting to motherhood. I support women in their unique healing journey that may have experienced perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal loss, and/or birth trauma.
I earned my Master’s Degree in School Counseling in 2016 from Roosevelt University. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents, in the school setting (PreK-12) as a school counselor and educator. I love forming connections with kids & teens at all levels, in order to help them reach their academic, social, and emotional potential.
When I am not working, you’ll find me soaking up most of my time with my husband & three boys! I also enjoy a warm cup of coffee, running, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
