Advanced Trainings
Perinatal Mental Health
The Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) reflects specialized training in supporting individuals and families during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood. This includes care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility, and the emotional adjustments that can come with becoming a parent.
As a PMH-C trained clinician, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we'll work to help you navigate the unique challenges of this season, build effective coping strategies, and foster emotional well-being so you can feel more confident and connected throughout your parenting journey.
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners strengthen their relationship and reconnect with one another. Rather than focusing on who's right or wrong, this approach provides practical tools to improve communication, navigate conflict with greater understanding, and rebuild trust and emotional connection.
Together, we'll identify your relationship's strengths, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop skills to help you feel more connected, supported, and understood. Whether you're facing ongoing challenges or simply want to strengthen your relationship, the Gottman Method offers a compassionate, evidence-based path toward a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.
