 Modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Mind-Body Approach

Perinatal: Advanced training

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Loras College and my Master of Science in Counselor Education from Drake University. Since 2009, I have worked as an elementary, middle, and high school counselor giving me the opportunity to support children and families through many different stages of life. While I love working with kids of all ages and their families, I have a special place in my heart for supporting women as they navigate the transitions, challenges, and changing seasons of life.

I am currently completing my clinical internship through Drake University as I work toward becoming a mental health therapist. I have also completed advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International (PSI), which has deepened my passion for supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the transitions surrounding perimenopause and menopause. I also have a special interest in helping highly sensitive and empathic women navigate an overstimulated world. 

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with mind, body and soul connection to help clients access deeper self-awareness and authentic alignment. I believe our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses are deeply connected. Together we can create space to understand those connections, move through difficult emotions, and develop tools that support meaningful change.

What My Support Looks Like

I believe therapy should be a grounded space where you can  reflect, reconnect with your intuition, and be a place where you feel deeply seen and understood. My approach is warm, inclusive, and empowering where you can show up as yourself, feel heard, and awaken to what you most desire in this life. 

In My Free Time You Can Find Me…

Spending time with my husband and two children, usually doing outdoor adventures, attending kids’ activities, or simply slowing down with a movie or game night. Coffee dates and walking with friends always fills my cup. I love to read and typically have two or three books going at once. Lately, I have been prioritizing new hobbies and interests such as pickleball, astrology, and energy healing.

You Don’t Have To Do This Alone

What do Bloom's perinatal mental health designations mean?

Perinatal mental health is one of Bloom’s core specialties, so we’re intentional about how we describe each provider’s training in this area. You’ll see one of three designations on every counselor’s profile: Certified, Advanced Training, or Growing Interest. Here’s what each one means.

What does "Certified" mean?
Certified indicates a provider is Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) — the formal, board-recognized specialty certification in perinatal mental health. Earning the PMH-C requires advanced education, supervised clinical training, and meeting professional standards set specifically for supporting individuals and families through the perinatal period.
What does "Advanced Training" mean?
Advanced Training means the provider has completed Bloom’s foundational two-day perinatal mental health training plus additional, advanced perinatal-specific coursework. These providers have pursued real, substantial education in the assessment and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, even though they haven’t yet completed the PMH-C certification process.
What does "Growing Interest" mean?
Growing Interest means the provider has a genuine clinical interest in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood, but hasn’t yet completed Bloom’s training threshold for our Advanced Training designation. It’s an honest starting point, not a lesser one — many of our most experienced perinatal providers began here.
What does "Growing Interest" mean?
Growing Interest means the provider has a genuine clinical interest in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood, but hasn’t yet completed Bloom’s training threshold for our Advanced Training designation. It’s an honest starting point, not a lesser one — many of our most experienced perinatal providers began here.
Why does Bloom make this distinction?
We believe you deserve to understand the training and experience behind the provider you’re choosing. Rather than using a vague catch-all term, we want our language to be transparent and specific — so you can find a provider whose background genuinely matches what you’re looking for.

What if I'd like to work with a provider at a different level of perinatal training?

That’s completely okay! You can browse our full team on the Meet Our Counselors page, where every provider’s designation is listed alongside their focus areas, so you can find the best match for your needs — whether that’s deep perinatal specialization or simply the right overall fit for you.
