As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor intern, I am dedicated to specializing in perinatal mental health, providing crucial support to families and teenagers during this transformative stage of life. I am passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space for those who feel unheard and unseen, particularly individuals dealing with anxiety, self-esteem issues, and depression.

My empathetic approach aims to help clients navigate the unique challenges associated with perinatal experiences, such as prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression, and the transition into parenthood. ​
By fostering resilience and empowering my clients, I strive to promote mental wellness and facilitate a journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. I believe in the power of compassionate listening and tailored therapeutic interventions to address the emotional and psychological needs of individuals during this critical time.

​Through my work, I am committed to supporting families in building strong foundations and promoting positive mental health outcomes for both parents and children. My goal is to be a trusted ally in their journey, offering guidance and encouragement as they embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood.
