About My Clients
I specialize in adolescent and maternal mental health. Many of the women I work with are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or seeking healing from various traumas as they navigate times of deep transition during the teenage years, postpartum, and parenting.
My Background and Approach
My approach is attachment-based, strength-based, informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe in identifying and addressing unmet needs that lie underneath mental health symptoms in order to bring about sustainable growth and change. I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health provider and have advanced clinical training in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. I have over 14 years of experience treating clients and families with a wide range of needs in San Diego and the Bay Area.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The mental health risks to mothers in the perinatal stage are under-appreciated, under-recognized and under-diagnosed. I am dedicated to helping protect vulnerable young families and improving family health. I am a professional member and volunteer with Postpartum Health Alliance to help connect women and families to the support they need. When not meeting with clients, I stay busy as a proud mom of 2.
