About My Clients

My clients are often adults who have experienced trauma or are navigating concerns related to depression, anxiety, or interpersonal issues. I also recognize there is a special space needed for exploring pregnancy, infertility, loss, postpartum mood changes, and transitions into parenthood. All are welcome here- all racial and cultural backgrounds, gender identifications and gender expressions, sexual orientations, national origins, religions, bodies, abilities and beliefs.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an EMDR certified and perinatal mental health certified therapist. I received my Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis in 2013, and since then I have worked in a variety of community health and mental health settings. I have pursued extensive training in trauma-informed, attachment-based modalities such as SAFE EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC). In addition, I have completed 3 years of training with the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. At Wise Roots Therapy, I utilize a holistic and collaborative approach to help process painful experiences, explore new coping strategies, and increase resources to help you heal.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In my 10+ years of social work, I have learned that when people feel safe, seen, and truly known, they find powerful new ways to connect with themselves and connect with others. My Roots- I'm a Nashville native. In my spare time, I love spending time with my two children, my dog, Aries, and cat, Elliot. I enjoy watching light hearted tv, am an OG Survivor fan, listen to too many true crime podcasts, and enjoy reading memoirs. I am currently available for both in person and telehealth sessions. If you'd like to connect to learn more, reach out to set up a time for a free 20 minute consultation. I look forward to learning more about you and your needs.
