Perinatal mental health training and clinical consultation for therapists and providers.

I help clinicians feel confident, equipped, and steady when they sit with pregnant and postpartum clients. Through training, consultation, and practical screening tools, you get the perinatal-specific skills that graduate programs rarely teach.

    Who I Work With:

    You became a therapist to help people, and then a new mother struggling with postpartum anxiety or the woman who just experienced pregnancy loss walked in and you realized this population is different. The risk is different. The timeline is different. The stakes feel different.

    I train and consult with:

    • Therapists adding perinatal work to their practice

    • Clinicians who want EMDR, IFS, and somatic tools adapted for pregnancy and postpartum

    • Group practices building a maternal mental health specialty

    • Providers who want a steady clinical thinking partner through tough cases

    • Students who need Supervision

    • Live and recorded trainings on perinatal screening, risk assessment, and trauma-informed care for the pregnancy and postpartum period. I develop CE courses and trainings.

    • One-on-one or small group case consultation. Bring your hardest cases. We think them through together.

    • Practical, ready-to-use clinical resources, starting with the Perinatal Quick-Screen Toolkit.

    • Keynotes, workshops, and panels for conferences, group practices, hospital teams, and professional organizations. I speak on perinatal mental health, screening and risk, trauma-informed perinatal care, and maternal mental health policy.

    • Clinical writing, research collaboration, and content development on perinatal mental health. I contribute to articles, white papers, curriculum, and research projects, and partner with organizations on evidence-informed resources for the perinatal field.
