I specialize in working with women through the journey to motherhood, including concerns related to fertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and postpartum issues. I also work with clients who have various anxiety, depression, and adjustment concerns. No matter what, I hope to create a space where clients can share their needs openly and honestly, to get their needs met to lead a life that feels meaningful and whole. ​

Second, I am an educator at heart. I come from a long line of educators in my family who are passionate about extending educational opportunities. Not only do I want to educate clients and healthcare providers on their concerns, resources, and supports, I want to give back the excellent education and training experiences I received to future generations of psychologists. I supervise students and early career psychologists in developing their skills and styles to become an excellent psychologist in the future. In fact, along with my friends and colleague, we founded the Rowen Specialty Clinic for Women at Spalding University, where we both see women in need of care but also train other doctoral students in perinatal mental health assessment and treatment. ​

I have a heart for our community. I am the co-chair of Postpartum Support International Support Kentucky Chapter. Along with our team, we lead state level initiatives to spread the word about perinatal mental health needs and resources, to improve access to care for women and families in the Commonwealth.

Last, but most importantly, is my family. My husband and I have a son and I am a stepmother to two young adult daughters. I am a survivor of pregnancy loss and birth trauma. While I center my work on what my clients bring in, I share these experiences generally when relevant to help validate and empathize with others going through a similar experience. While time to myself looks different these days, I enjoy spending time with my family, taking walks, doing yoga, and traveling when we can!
