I help women who feel anxious about pregnancy, afraid of another pregnancy, overwhelmed by birth trauma, or stuck in the heavy, isolating weight of postpartum depression and anxiety. If your body is tense all the time, your mind won’t stop running worst-case scenarios, you feel like you're walking through sludge, and you have to keep masking just to get through the day, I can help.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and former Certified Nurse-Midwife, I bring both clinical training and birth experience to this work, along with a way of practicing that is thoughtful, flexible, and rooted in compassion. I don't assume one approach will fit every person. Instead, I draw from somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, EMDR, CBT, and parts work as needed, so we can use what actually helps. Over time, you can feel less stuck in survival mode and more connected to your own steadiness, wisdom, and strength.
In addition to perinatal mental health, I offer a birthworker care program. You carry the weight of the room. When it's good, it's very, very good. When it's not, it can be crushing. And you are bound by honor to hold that to yourself. I welcome you to a HIPAA-compliant space with someone who gets what you do and can help you truly reset your mind, body, and spirit.
I offer teletherapy throughout the State of Virginia so you can attend sessions from the comfort of your own home (or your car, or the library, or.....). I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can check the comfort of working together.
