Community Connections

Being involved in the community and giving back is so rewarding to me. I enjoy getting out of my office and meeting different providers and community workers that interact with the populations I serve. As a solo practitioner, it’s very important to me to be aware of the different programs and services available to my clients so that they can be further supported. The saying “It takes a village” is 100% accurate. I feel it also helps me to be more knowledgeable and have a deeper understanding of the different experiences someone may have on their grief or reproductive journey. 

Non-profit co-founder

My colleagues and I created this non-profit as mothers and providers that specialize in perinatal mental health. We saw a need for this support in our community to raise awareness, decrease stigmas, and make resources more accessible to better support new parents. 


Advisory board member

This women owned business right here in Winston-Salem was started by moms who understood the importance of connection and support during the transition into parenthood. I’m proud to serve on their advisory board with many other professional women, to help support new parents and reduce the risks to mental health concerns during this time.


Grief counselor

I became connected with Trellis over a decade ago when my father was a patient. I believe there is an enormous benefit for those experiencing grief to have support. This organization provides invaluable resources to the community, often free of charge. 


Freelance writer

One of the many benefits to owning my own practice is I have the bandwidth to connect with activities I enjoy. Writing is one of them, it’s very therapeutic for me. This magazine is a great resource for the community to help connect and learn. 

This philanthropic work that I’m able to be part of in our community is very important to me. Connecting with people is such an enormous part of of the heart behind my business and why I’m so passionate about therapy.
