"I have severe, severe postpartum [depression], and I don't know if any new moms can relate, but it's to the point where it's really bad, and it's hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out...Before I had a child and I would hear people talk about postpartum, it would kind of just go in one ear and out the other. I didn't realize how serious of a thing it actually was. Now going through it, it almost feels like you're swimming in this ocean that's like the biggest waves you've ever felt and you're trying not to drown. And you're trying to come up for air." - Halle Bailey

Our Story

“Holding Space” is a term we often use in the helping profession. It can be hard to explain and to teach to others, but when it is done just right- the therapist and the client know it. It’s to be present without judgment, to not only walk with the client on their journey but to help hold their “stuff” along the way. It’s trust, understanding, mothering, and it’s a skill. This skill comes naturally to me, as it does for many skilled clinicians and it is the best tool we have to help client’s get better faster. So, this is what we do. We help hold the “stuff”, walk the walk, and heal wholly.

Being a parent is hard – but I don’t have to tell you this. I understand the unique challenges that we face as we adapt to our new roles and face new obstacles we didn’t anticipate having to face. This is why we believe it is necessary to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. We are working on expanding our service offerings to include collective care such as: yoga (including pre and post-natal), nutrition/parenting/group support, as well as referrals to other providers that offer wellness services.

I specialize in perinatal and women’s issues, utilizing a Holistic/Integrative approach to counseling. I provide empathetic care for clients, based on their individual needs. You will feel safe in an environment that will foster exploration and growth. Helping others to live a happy and healthy life is my true passion. I’ve been working in the mental health field for 8 years and it hasn’t felt like “work” at all. I’ve worked with women and families experiencing anxiety/depression, loss, trauma, adjustment challenges, and relationship issues. Although, I work with a wide variety of clients, working with moms, couples, and moms-to-be is my specialty.
