I have a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and have been working with children, families and individual adults for 25+ years. What I have learned in that time is that we all have rough patches in life. I have also learned that counseling can help, but it is the match between client and counselor that makes all the difference. Clients that match best with me are reflective and have a good sense of humor. It also helps if they have some quirky parts to their personality. I have found these traits help people get through the rough parts of life. Also, I think those traits are the best match for me because I have them too.

I believe that life transitions are a time to celebrate life and an opportunity for great growth. As director of the BLOOM Maternal and Infant Wellness Program, I specialize in supporting women and their families through the transition to parenthood. A unique and often challenging time punctuated with endings and new beginnings. Women and their families need and deserve to be nurtured and supported during this time. My areas of expertise include: The prevention and treatment of pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, promoting healthy parent-child attachment, as well as strengthening and “baby-proofing” relationships.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are struggling through difficult life situations. My hope is that my clients will begin to emerge from the experience with strength, insight and a sense of empowerment to address the next challenge with grace. Using a strengths-based approach, I employ concepts of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to increase self-awareness and choice within life's challenges. I also use EMDR, an evidence-based approach, to help release the impact of past experiences on current emotions, thoughts and behaviors including traumatic events and childhood trauma.

All of us, including you, were born with a core self that’s vibrant, inviolable, and indomitable. It’s still there inside, waiting patiently for each of us to work through the layers of difficulties, frustrations, and self-doubt that have accumulated over the years. When we do that difficult work, we’re able to live more from the core self and less from the wounded layer that so many of us have adopted out of painful necessity. In therapy we'll clarify confusions, heal the hurt places, and connect with your core self so you can live with more ease, truth, and self-love.

Do you crave a more playful, connected, & inspired life with meaning & purpose? Do you wish for compassion as your default & the mental space to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically? If you grew up feeling neglected or uncelebrated, struggled to be vulnerable, or have a hard time relaxing, you’re not alone. I believe in radical incrementalism, focusing on 1% changes for consistency over intensity. We are all inherently worthy of love & belonging but often develop maladaptive behaviors to cope with societal pressures. My passion is to help alleviate loneliness & empower you to connect deeply with those around you.

I really like helping clients out when they are having anxiety and or panic attacks. I have a unique approach, that I learned from having a panic attack myself, how scary it was and then applying my knowledge, and asking myself a question, how do I never have another panic attack ever again? The clients goal is typically to reduce their panic attacks, and I can show them how to arrest it, and to not have one, ever again.

Have you noticed changes within your child's behavior that leave you feeling confused as to what to do or say? Perhaps your child has been struggling with overwhelming anxiety or emotional outbursts. Or perhaps you've noticed your teenager begin to isolate, drop in their grades, and become overly self-critical. Children and teenagers are often communicating their needs through their behaviors, and it is often very difficult as a parent to know what to do. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling within difficult emotional experiences, transitions like divorce, or within relationships.

It can be a challenge to find a counselor that is not only a good fit, but has the knowledge to help with the concerns you are bringing to therapy. I work with both both children and adults in my practice and have spent the past 10 years specializing in treating depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns in children, and trauma/PTSD using evidence-based treatments. Clients have described me as straight-forward as well as taking the time to understand their experience.
