Bio/Description

Is it as though you are perpetually falling short? Is each day becoming increasingly difficult just to get through? You are not alone. I myself have experienced pregnancy loss and a traumatic birth in addition to postpartum depression and anxiety.

As the author of Reclaim Your Life, I specialize in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people learn skills, such as mindfulness and compassion, to handle difficult thoughts and feelings so they can find freedom from suffering and engage in their life. ​

Since becoming a mother, I developed a special interest in perinatal mental health and have sought advanced training and perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International.

Please know that whatever you may be struggling with, you are not broken. You are fundamentally, unconditionally whole, and in possession of everything that is needed to build a meaningful life. I know reaching out can be hard, but if you are even thinking about it please do. Go to my website to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation today!
