Mindful Roots Counselling and Psychotherapy

Since a young age I have leaned in when others share their struggles. I am comfortable sitting with others in their pain and love to support them through their journey to healing. This led me to complete a Masters in Psychology focused on Family Systems from CalSouthern University in the United States in 2017; where I became triple accredited as a Mental Health Counsellor, Marriage and Family Therapist and Addictions Counsellor. I worked as a Student Counsellor with Western Washington University as well as providing counselling support to individuals and couples through my private practice. I began to work more directly with pregnant and postnatal women, couples and families and through this work I discovered a deep passion and a recognition of the need for specialized support in this area. I completed my Perinatal Specialist certification with Perinatal Support Washington in 2019 and worked in private practice in Bellingham Washington, USA specializing in supporting this tender life transition until 2021. I now live in the beautiful Kinsale area and am IACP Accredited and a Graduate Member of the Psychological Society of Ireland. I am passionate about supporting women and families who are navigating the challenges of infertility, IVF, infant loss, pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood. I use CBT, Narrative and Family Systems therapeutic techniques; as well as Lifespan Integration to address and reduce the impact of Trauma. If it feels harder than it should, I welcome you to schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can help. Available for individual and couples therapy.
