How I Got Here
In 2017, after the birth of my second baby, I experienced postpartum anxiety — a diagnosis I wasn't even familiar with despite being in the mental health field for over a decade. That experience changed everything. Driven by curiosity and a deep sense of responsibility, I began researching and ultimately completed advanced training through Postpartum Support International, becoming among the first professionals to earn the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C).
What started as a personal awakening became a professional passion. I've spent years educating others — parents, partners, and clinicians — about Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and pairing that expertise with my foundation in trauma, self-esteem, and holistic wellness.
My Work Today
I run Be Well Wellness, a maternal mental health therapy practice in Northern Virginia, where my team supports individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I am also co-founder of Be Hive Wellness, a collaborative wellness center bringing together like-minded perinatal providers under one roof.
In addition to my practice, I offer trauma intensives — focused, multi-hour sessions using EMDR, psychodrama, and somatic approaches for clients ready to do deep, transformative work. I also provide clinical supervision and consultation for counseling residents and therapists in Virginia, and I write and teach through The Supervision Space, a Substack community for clinicians navigating the early years of practice.
I also love teaching and have several online courses available — from maternal mental health topics to stress management and self-care tools — accessible to anyone, anywhere.
When I'm Not Working
Outside of the office, I'm a mom to three kids and two dogs, which means life is full and rarely quiet! I recharge with tennis, moms' nights out, and the incredible community I've built through my work — I've had the privilege of connecting with so many talented and passionate people, especially in the perinatal space, and that network continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this career.
