From the therapist…
Working as a part of the Health and Wellness Team at GBBC is an absolute dream come true! I fully believe in the natural approach to birthing and work from a holistic perspective of care. I personally understand the unique opportunities associated with natural birth as I, too, have birthed both of my children through GBBC.
I specialize in working with women and their families during and after pregnancy, addressing pre-birth anxiety/fear and post birth challenges including: Postpartum Depression, Family Dynamic Challenges, and Integration/Adjustment Issues. I am also passionate about working with couples dealing with anxiety related to the birth process and challenges associated with a growing family. I also enjoy helping children and parents who are lacking a stable connection and are seeking more balance in the home.
On a more personal note, I am married to a remarkable man, who is a guitarist virtuoso. He is the love of my life and my very best friend. We live in Fort Worth with our two small children and enjoy spending time together as a family doing everything…or nothing at all.
I would love to hear how I might be most helpful to you and your unique situation, and am happy to offer myself as a resource to you and your family during this exciting time in your life!!!
