Yes, Self-Help resources like this really work! This is actually an area I research and study in my role as a social work professor.
-
I earned my Bachelors from Emory University (2009) and my Masters in Theology from Vanderbilt University (2011). I studied communities of women across world religions to better understand the way women support each other to create meaningful lives within spiritual and contemplative spaces.
I earned my Masters in Social Work (2013) and Doctorate in Clinical Social Work Practice and Leadership (2019) from the University of Tennessee’s College of Social Work where I also taught and researched for the past decade.
In addition to my schooling, I am Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington State. My licensure represents 7-years of post-master’s degree training that took place in community mental health, school, crisis, and medical settings where I supported women and families before I began my practice to serve women.
-
Yes, my expertise is in women’s mental health. I am trained in family systems theory and psychodynamic therapy, which means I recognize the power of each woman’s social environment and the way relationships impact her wellbeing.
I'm also trained in therapy techniques that reduce anxiety & come from the realm of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Although I have worked with many different groups of women in the past, my therapy practice naturally shifted towards caring for moms when I started the process of starting my family. As a therapist, I am required to regularly receive continued education, and I focus this education on the care of mothers.
I’m also a mom myself- and this credential is just as important as the rest!
