Chloe is a licensed clinical social worker with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout her career, Chloe has worked with a wide variety of diagnoses and concerns including life transitions, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, eating disorders, and severe and persistent mental illness. After her own pregnancy and postpartum experiences, Chloe realized that support for mothers is often fragmented and insufficient. She is passionate about providing high-quality support throughout the motherhood journey: from trying to conceive through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. She narrowed her focus to maternal mental health and obtained her certification in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International in 2024.

Chloe’s clinical practice is integrative and informed by evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

As a social worker, Chloe believes in the strength, dignity, and worth of every individual. She recognizes that in addition to working with a client’s individual concerns, we must also examine how the systems and environments around us affect maternal mental health.

In case you needed the reminder: you deserve a spot on your own “to-do” list. Small moments count—a few deep breaths outside, a quiet cup of coffee, even two minutes with your favorite game. When you care for yourself, you refill the energy you give so generously to others. 🌸

Shana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate dedicated to supporting individuals and families through all stages of the perinatal and parenting journey. As a parent herself, she deeply understands the complex and often conflicting emotions that can arise during these transitions. Shana approaches each person’s experience with gentleness, acceptance, and genuine understanding.

She offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can share their story, explore their emotions, and build tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-compassion. Shana is committed to helping individuals process their experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and nurture meaningful connections with themselves, their partner, and their family. In addition to her perinatal and parenting work, Shana has supported survivors of sexual violence and understands how trauma can deeply affect mental health, parenthood, and family life.

Shana creates a warm, inclusive, and safe environment where individuals feel empowered to bring their full, authentic selves. Her therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, somatic practices, parts work, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, Shana believes in walking alongside her clients—following their lead and honoring their pace on the path toward healing and growth.
