Perinatal and Mental Health Therapist

I am a bilingual (English/ Spanish) Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC #12748), National Certified Counselor in North Carolina, am dually licensed in South Carolina (LPC #10102) and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I specialize in trauma and Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health and enjoy with individuals are they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. I am passionate about women’s health and supporting women as they navigate the challenges of women’s mental health. I have advanced training in Perinatal Mood Disorders and Perinatal Grief and Loss through Postpartum Support International.

I work with clients who may be struggling with mild to moderate anxiety, depression, relationship, life and career stressors; or trauma related to their relationships or family. I support individuals as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss / termination, the adjustment to motherhood, and the parenting of toddlers and young children. Motherhood is hard. Life is hard. Finding care and support shouldn’t be.

My theoretical orientation is integrative encompassing a multicultural, positive psychology, strengths-based approach, as well as the incorporation of Trauma-Informed Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy and understand the impacts that our own childhood and life experiences have on our attachment, communication, and interpersonal relationships and how we interpret our world. It is an honor to create a safe space with clients that encourages curiosity, embodiment, growth, and healing.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Marriage and Family Counseling from Appalachian State University and a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and Psychology from Meredith College.
