About Lupine Counseling

Bio

Hello! I'm a Bay Area Mama to 2 little ones and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist through Postpartum Support International. Through my own journey with PPD and my years of work with Mothers in non-profit and hospital settings, I found my passion in helping Mothers feel better. By strengthening the mind-body connection and giving Mothers the loving support and attention that all Mamas deserve, I help Mothers restore their sense of Self and enjoyment in life.

Q&A

Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

A: The transition to motherhood is one of the biggest life adjustments a woman can have. Even in ideal settings, this transition time can feel wildly difficult. I want to give Mamas the thing that I desired the most when I was newly postpartum - a place to safely share what I was really feeling and to get true help in finding my way back to joy.

Q: What are your certifications and trainings?

A: I am an LCSW and certified through Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health therapist. In addition to this I am also certified as a Ketamine Assisted Therapist and an Integrative Mental Health therapist. I am trained in EMDR and IFS and use a variety of techniques that is individualized to what each Mother needs/ wants.

Q: What locations or areas do you serve?

A: I am licensed to practice in the states of CA and FL. I offer telehealth appointments to Mothers across these states. For Mothers residing in the Bay Area, I offer in home support for Ketamine Assisted Therapy, and Walk n' Talk therapy for Mothers who are wanting to combine their mental health therapy with gentle movement and nature.

Q: How much experience do you have?

A: I have been working with Mothers in various settings (non profit programs, the maternity unit of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, etc.) for 10 years. I opened my private practice in 2019 in which I exclusively serve and support Mothers with a variety of mental health challenges.
