Therapy is your opportunity to receive support, validation, and guidance. We will work together to address your concerns in a safe, accepting and non-judgmental environment. I focus on helping women at various stages of life who are going through traumatic experiences, stressful life transitions, grief & loss and anxiety & depression. I'm also trained to help perinatal/ postpartum women and mothers. In addition to my clinical training, I bring 15 years of Corporate sector experience to this field.
I believe in treating the whole person and aim to understand your cultural, family, environmental and biological influences. I draw from an integrative approach which includes evidence based practices such as CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed Care, Humanistic modalities and Mindfulness. My goal is to understand your needs and tailor your treatment appropriately.
Areas of specialization include: healing from abuse & family of origin issues, pregnancy, postpartum depression, personal growth, trauma, depression & anxiety. I invite you to contact me to see how I can help you.
