Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
My Approach
It takes incredible strength and courage to reach out for help when you are in need of support; especially during our most vulnerable moments. I'm so glad you are here...
As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to hold space for you and your story - as it continues to unfold. I invite you to think the old and timeless saying: "You can't pour from an empty cup." I don't believe that there is anything more valuable to you (or your family) than engaging in the process of filling up your own cup. Tea time?
I offer a collaborative and holistic approach to treatment honoring each client's personal beliefs, unique values, and intentions for therapy. I believe that the relationship between a client and their therapist acts as the "heart" of therapy; therefore I offer a free fifteen minute telephone consultation to talk in more detail and see if you wish to work with me. I am able to make referrals to other resources and practitioners if we determine that I may not be the right fit for you. Give me a ring!
