I am so glad you're here! Seeking out therapy when feeling overwhelmed or stuck is an act of courage. As a therapist with over 10 years of experience, I am committed to providing a safe space to talk through your roadblocks, life transitions, and adverse experiences. I not only trust you are an expert of your own life, but also give you the opportunity to challenge deeply-held beliefs that may no longer serve purpose in your present life. My areas of expertise include perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and relationships.
I have have advanced training in EMDR and Perinatal Mental Health. I teach mindfulness techniques to help you feel more grounded and secure. In addition, I utilize a variety of other clinical approaches, including DBT, CBT, and IFS skills, that are best suited for you to achieve your personal happiness.
I am here to support to you through whatever life challenges may come. Please contact me to see if I fit your needs or if I can answer any of your questions. I am now accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you!
