Clinical Background

In total, I have 10+ years of experience working with postpartum mothers and families.

Prior to my graduate education, I provided in-home social work services to mothers and children through the Family Empowerment Program. After witnessing first hand the support that parents and families needed in our community, I decided to pursue my graduate degree. I attended UNCG’s Counseling Program, and there I focused on Couples and Family Counseling.

Following graduation, I once again worked providing counseling to mothers, families, and those who had experienced acute trauma. I have additional experience working with those experiencing grief and loss, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and working with families with young children.

I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

In order to obtain this certification you must complete extensive advanced training in Maternal Mental Health, have at least 2 years of experience working with perinatal clients, and are required to maintain regular continuing education. I am versed in Perinatal Mental Health, Perinatal Grief and Loss, Perinatal OCD, Perinatal Birth Trauma, and more.

I facilitate The Newborn Series with The Mom League of Greensboro, an 8 week series geared toward parents of infants age 0-12 weeks that provides support around infant feeding, postpartum mental health, managing relationships after baby, setting boundaries, navigating identity shifts, and so much more.

I have provided trainings to NICU families and staff through The Family Support Network of Central Carolina, and am a bi-monthly guest speaker through Cone Health’s Baby and Me Program for new mothers. I also provide trainings and presentations on topics such as ‘You Are Not Alone: Understanding Postpartum Mood and Finding Support’ and ‘Big Feelings, Little Kids: Supporting Emotional Growth While Staying Grounded as a Parent’ throughout the community. I help facilitate various Mother and Baby groups throughout the Triad, and am a member of Postpartum Support International as well as the Postpartum Resource Center of the Triad.

I support our local community through providing trainings, presentations, and group facilitation, and being involved is a deeply ingrained part of who I am and what I believe in.

I am passionate about Perinatal, Prenatal, and Postpartum mental health, and wellness for all. I believe everyone deserves to feel held, seen, and cared for at their most vulnerable moments, and I am honored to provide this care for women and families of the Triad, and virtually across North Carolina.
