First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked supporting youth, families, and new moms for the past several years, I've developed a playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I love working with pregnant and postpartum moms. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their life transitions. I also am excited to support youth identify coping skills and improve behavior concerns.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am certified in Perinatal-DBT through University of Michigan Strong Roots evidence-based training. It is a treatment approach supporting parents-child relationships focusing on the biological, environmental, mood, and interpersonal changes present in the perinatal period.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I am trained in TF-CBT supporting children affected by trauma experience. Previous experience working with families in crisis by improving parenting and family functioning while keeping children safe. These services are provided by state and local child welfare agencies to preserve a family so they can stay safely together. The goal of family preservation services is to prevent out-of-home placement and to promote stabilization and successful reunification.
