A majority work experience and additional training was done in an inpatient and outpatient hospital setting. There I learned evidence based techniques in Motivational interviewing, CBT, CT-R, Cognitive Remediation, DBT, and Mindfulness based approaches. This experience gave me the expertise to treat many general mental health needs.

​

After my time at the Hospital  I acquired extensive knowledge in women's, focusing on infertility counseling, postpartum care, perinatal mental health, and menopause. 

 

Training under Sharon Covington through her 10 month course I developed a understanding of the process and procedures related to infertility as well  intense emotions tied to infertility. The training further educated  me in understanding and treating mental health aspects of this journey provides vital support to clients facing these experiences.

 

Perinatal Mental Health through PSI emphasized the significant hormonal impacts on mental health postpartum, as well as the substantial life changes that occur during the perinatal and postnatal phase. Those phases effect both parents and can lead to significant changes in mood.

 

 Menopause training a 12 week intensive were I explored both the physical and mental health challenges women encounter during menopause equipping me to deliver comprehensive care throughout this important transition.

​

My specialized trainings grant me access to  a network of providers and organizations dedicated to the health and wellbeing of women. They help me to stay current and enable my continued learning  to support my clients.
