My treatment approach is specifically for new parents and moms with the overall goal of fostering healthier emotional health, navigate through trauma and loss, and to discover their new identity postpartum to be the best version of you. My experiences with mental health include personal - encountered one traumatic birth and being a mom of a two preemies, each with time in the NICU, in addition to clinical - with a decade working as a mental health counselor and having managed mental health clinics in the Greater Chicago area and Western New York. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques in my work from modalities such as Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. I'm trained in EMDR as well as certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. My goal is create a safe environment for us to work together to explore where you’re feeling stuck, recognize your strengths, identify what behaviors or thoughts are no longer useful to you, and develop skills to better manage your emotions and stressors. I’m here to support you on your journey, wherever you may be!
