Frequently Asked Questions
My personal experiences with mental health challenges, particularly postpartum depression and anxiety, deeply inspired me to become an advocate. I realized how isolating these experiences can feel, and I wanted to help others feel less alone by creating a space where mental health is openly discussed and supported.
I focus on a range of topics, including inclusive sex education, mental health awareness, parenting, and mindfulness. My goal is to empower individuals—especially youth and moms—with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate life’s challenges.
As a licensed therapist, I take a holistic and inclusive approach to therapy. I believe in addressing both the mental and emotional aspects of wellness while incorporating mindfulness practices to help clients build resilience and self-confidence.
I started Moms for Mental Health because I saw a need for a safe, supportive community where moms could openly discuss their mental health challenges. As a mother who has experienced postpartum depression and anxiety, I wanted to create a space where no one feels alone, and support is always available.
I hope that readers feel empowered and informed after reading Powerfully Prepared. My goal is to provide young people with the knowledge they need to make confident, healthy decisions about their bodies, identities, and relationships, all while promoting mental wellness and inclusivity.
