My speciality varies from working with individuals with anxiety disorders, perinatal / postpartum mental health, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and perfectionism. Additionally, I have clinical experience working with depression, trauma, grief, domestic violence, women's issues, religious trauma & abuse, neurodiversity, military, first responders, and addiction.
My counseling approach is trauma-informed and integrative to my client's needs. I use Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and mindful self-compassion techniques with my clients. A holistic approach (mind, body, & spirit) are all considered in the counseling process.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, postpartum, intrusive thoughts, addiction, or a dysregulated nervous system can make it hard to know who we really are and live the life we want to live. It is my goal to create a safe environment for you to tap into your authentic self and begin your journey of self-discovery and growth. Let's do the work- contact me today.

I often find myself using ACT informed by polyvagal theory in my practice. With my clients with OCD, I blend ERP with ACT. I have been formally trained in these treatment modalities. I know that each client is individual and may not respond as well to certain treatments, so I remain flexible and open to what works for them. Everyone is unique and deserves to be treated as such.
