Great to meet you!

Reaching out for support isn't always easy, so I'm glad you're here. I have 12+ years of experience supporting individuals and families through a variety of mental health challenges. My core clinical specialties include reproductive mental health, trauma, and grief. As a Certified Reproductive Mental Health Specialist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Grief-Informed professional, I bring specialized knowledge and experience to supporting clients through family management and planning, fertility challenges, difficult life transitions, relationship challenges, and everyday stress. Help is available, and you don't have to walk your path alone. Please visit www.rosepetalmh.com to learn more about my services and how I can help. I look forward to connecting with you.

My approach to therapy

I like to lead with warmth and empathy. Change happens when you feel supported. Your treatment is tailored to your individual needs, experiences, and goals. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies, while incorporating mindfulness, strengths-based, and psycho-educational approaches when appropriate. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered to better understand yourself while developing effective coping strategies.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss the reasons you chose therapy, and to explore your goals for treatment. You can expect a collaborative and person-centered approach where we work together to navigate life transitions and challenges.
