Q& A
✨ What are your specialities?
I am a body psychotherapist specializing in perinatal and postpartum care with an emphasis on nervous system regulation and post-trauma growth. By integrating somatic techniques with therapeutic insights, I help clients navigate the complexities of their changing bodies and minds, promoting resilience, empowerment, and well-being during one of life’s most profound transitions.
✨ What are some of your passions in working with and treating within therapy?
It’s an honor to accompany people amidst life transitions. I love supporting people as they develop their value system, increase their emotional intelligence, and discover their needs & wants. I’m also passionate about challenging our collective addiction to intensity, toxic systems of oppression, and drama cycles that keep us from truly loving and trusting our wise nature.
✨How would you describe your therapeutic style in sessions?
My approach is gentle, subtle and playful. I resonate with humanistic and holistic approaches to therapy which value and consider the whole person, especially their positive characteristics and potential for growth and healing. I primarily utilize a unique theory and clinical practice of human empowerment, trauma-safe mindfulness & compassion called Organic Intelligence (OI).
✨How did you decide you wanted to be in the mental health field?
A decade ago, I read two books that made me so curious about the field of mental health, they were The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk and Eating in the Light of the Moon by Dr. Anita Johnston. I was intrigued and decided to pursue a job at an outdoor behavioral health clinic to keep learning. I felt so connected and inspired while working with clients and their families that I decided to go back to school in pursuit of becoming a therapist.
✨What drew you to working with the perinatal population and what do you enjoy the most?
I have so much passion for this dynamic and influential phase of life as clients navigate important changes with one’s body, relationships, and routines. I enjoy witnessing the shift that often occurs for people when they reconnect with their healing impulses and realign with what brings them a lasting sense of meaning, peace, & well-being.
✨Do you accept insurance?
Yes, at Bloom Women's Wellness we accept Wellmark Blue Cross, Blue Shield insurance.
