Hello, and welcome! My name is Celleste. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist and MFT Board-approved Clinical Supervisor in MN and WI. I currently have the pleasure of serving as the Vice Chair for Pregnancy and Postpartum Support MN, a local 501(c)3 non-profit. I also co-own and helped start The Nurture Collective, a new perinatal and reproductive space in the Twin Ports!

I am certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and additionally specialize in reproductive mental health. Whether you are experiencing challenges with infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma, or post-loss know that you are not alone. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are in the season of life where they are expanding, or working on expanding, their family. With over a decade of experience supporting the journey from pre-conception to pre-kindergarten, and as a fertility challenged mom myself, I can deeply connect with the multitude of good and hard parts of life.

I utilize a blend of relational, attachment-, trauma-, and emotionally-focused techniques used to heal birth trauma; provide support to new parents; improve maternal mental health; and help increase a sense of security and bonding between people with whom we are closest to in life. Exploring matrescence is something that lights me up (if you don't know this word yet we'll unpack it together). I am also trained in Circle of Security-Parenting, an attachment-based parenting program. 

During our work together you can expect curiosity, warmth, empathy, and humor with emphasis on how your personal strengths, feelings, relationships, and unique coping strategies work together to promote wellbeing. We'll figure this out together and help you figure out who you are now, and process what changed along the way. I’ve found that a combination of education, support, space to be human, playfulness, love, and connection are vital.
