My approach is supportive and patient and incorporates the body and the mind in treatment. I believe
addressing emotions such as guilt, overwhelm and fear is critical for perinatal mood disorders. Providing a
safe space for parents to reconnect with themselves and each other is key for moving forward. I provide
mental health consultation in an interactive rural environment. Art, animals, and mind-body awareness used
to improve a client’s sense of well-being and groundedness. Sliding fee available.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Wholistic Nutritionist who works with women and families around
preparation for pregnancy, rejuvenation after birth, introducing solids to infants and establishing life-long
healthy eating habits in kids. I feel strongly that a tasty, whole foods diet can have a profound impact on our
physical and mental well-being. I know the period around childbirth can be one of great transition and I enjoy
helping women navigate this change in a supportive environment. Infants are welcome in all sessions. I offer
a free 20 minute initial phone consultation.
