Out of network provider
Cammy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified Child Life Specialist. She has spent her career helping children and adults navigate difficult life transitions, particularly those surrounding issues of grief and loss. In medical settings, Cammy has worked to support families in scenarios ranging from the routine to end-of-life. For the last 6 years she managed a children’s grief program at a large hospice supporting all members of a family before, during, and after a loss.
As she entered her own journey into motherhood, Cammy observed the many similarities that accompany the beginning and end stages of life; loss of control, finding one’s new sense of self, balancing feelings of hope and despair. All this within a system that isn’t designed to support new or aspiring parents. So often, the unique needs of a person are overlooked as they navigate the ups and downs of the perinatal journey. Many of us struggle to find or utilize our “villages of support”.
Cammy has a gentle, inclusive, and relational approach. Her goal is to empower clients to find trust in their own ability to make choices that honor their unique selves through a non-pathologizing and supportive environment that validates each client's lived experience.
