Mamas!! I see you walking aimlessly through Target trying to get some peace! Those nagging thoughts running through your mind while your infant is drooling on your chest and your toddler is hanging from your pants!! I got you! It's really hard being a mom and I know you hold those tears just under the surface…. Let’s make some time in your day to get back to you. Let’s figure out what’s going on with those thoughts. Let’s chat about what it’s been like for you to be a mom-has it been different than you thought? Harder? Easier? Tell me all about how you got here today and let’s figure out how we can work together to get back to you. I participated in a yearlong collaborative while working at Child and Family Agency. The focus of this experience was to learn and implement Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also completed a yearlong Trauma Certificate with the Justice Resource Institute. I am certified as a Mind Over Mood therapist assisting new mothers in the transition to motherhood and the treatment of mood related symptoms. I have worked on the Mashantucket Reservation as a Clinician and then as the Clinical Coordinator. Prior to this I worked in a Child Guidance Clinic and spent time in a school based health center guiding middle school students through age-appropriate transitions and immersion in a dual language curriculum.​
