Hello, and welcome! My name is Celleste. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and MFT Board-approved Clinical Supervisor in MN. 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 am certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and additionally specialize in reproductive mental health, attachment parenting, postpartum couples, and birth trauma. I am passionate about working with people 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 family journey from pre-conception to pre-kindergarten, and as a fertility challenged mom myself, I can deeply connect with the good and hard parts of parenthood.
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. 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. As a mama myself I’ve found that a combination of education, support, space to be human, playfulness, love, and connection are vital. Additionally I offer systemic, relational supervision for therapists in Minnesota working towards obtaining licensure within their field of study.

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapy intern at Duluth Perinatal. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin–Superior. My focus is on perinatal counseling, and I work with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complex emotional and relational transitions that come with infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I am trained in both recognizing and working with perinatal mental health challenges through Postpartum Support International, and will be supervised by Celleste.
While I am still in training, I bring a diverse range of life experiences, including several years of living internationally, which have shaped my culturally responsive and compassionate approach to therapy. I’m deeply passionate about supporting families in our community and believe that every stage of family life deserves care, understanding, and connection. Under supervision, I continue to grow as a clinician while offering meaningful and thoughtful support to the clients and families I serve.
Providing a secure, encouraging foundation through the highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, loss, fertility challenges, & family building.
