Welcome
I am a licensed clinical social worker providing women and their families with supportive counseling and psychotherapy during the childbearing years. I specialize in treating:
- Prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety
- Postpartum depression prevention and postpartum preparation
- Healing mother’s traumatic birth experiences (utilizing EMDR)
- Childbearing losses (including miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or feelings of grief and loss associated with premature or ill newborns)
- Parenting and child guidance.
My mission is to help parents and children remove the barriers to creating strong, healthy, loving relationships with one another.
As a social worker, I am trained to view the “person in the environment.” I take a wide-angled view and look at all the factors affecting the client and the problem and can therefore intervene on many levels. Moreover, I utilize a strengths-based approach in working with clients, identifying what the client is doing well and using those strengths to address the problem or to increase the clients’ functioning. Although some clients and some problems require long-term counseling, I primarily do short-term therapy. My goal is to help clients feel better and to meet their goals in the shortest time possible.
