Exciting News: I Am Now Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C)

I'm excited to share that I have earned my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International (PSI)!

The perinatal period includes the time from trying to conceive, fertility treatments, pregnancy, and postpartum through the first years of parenting. While this season can be filled with joy and excitement, it can also bring unexpected challenges, emotional ups and downs, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions.

The PMH-C credential recognizes specialized training and competency in perinatal mental health. Through PSI's certification program, clinicians complete advanced education focused on supporting individuals, couples, and families through the emotional and psychological experiences that can arise during the perinatal period.

As a therapist, I have always been passionate about helping people navigate change, strengthen relationships, and feel more connected to themselves and those they love. As a mother of two sons, I also understand firsthand that parenthood can be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. The transition into parenthood often shifts our identities, routines, relationships, and expectations in ways we never fully anticipate. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming at times.

Earning my PMH-C allows me to provide even more specialized support to individuals and couples navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, parenting transitions, and the impact these experiences can have on mental health and relationships.

Whether you're preparing for a baby, adjusting to life with a newborn, navigating fertility challenges, or simply trying to find your footing during a season of change, you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered as you move through this chapter of your life.

I am grateful for the opportunity to continue learning and growing as a clinician so I can better support the individuals and couples who trust me with their stories.
