I believe that, for the most part, we’re all doing our best. But I also believe that people are often capable of much more than we tend to give ourselves credit for, because it can be hard to find the power and strength we have inside ourselves when we feel unseen and unheard. I think that’s why therapy can be such an important and effective intervention for a lot of people. I never want a client to feel like they have to be in therapy forever, but I’m happy to stay in the journey with them as long as they want to be there.

Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative journeys a person will experience. For some it can be a time for self awareness, reflection and deepening of relationships. For others it may be a time filled with anxiety, fear and distress. After baby arrives the family will be in a time of transition, navigating new roles and how to care for and attune to baby. I am passionate about supporting parents and their babies to navigate the crucial time period.

My purpose is to do work to create change that is sustainable. A change that has space for complexity, reparation, and relating through difference. I have a plan, an offering, and a vision that I want to share with others to improve their quality of life. I want to help those that struggle with and question whether what they are doing matters. As a psychotherapist, the goal is for my clients to tap into their own power to create a positive change for themselves, while also helping to create a world that praises the uniqueness of each person and where humility and compassion are a given.

My job is to help provide you with the tools you need to grow into the best version of yourself. Some theories that I employ in my therapeutic process include strengths-based theory, person-centered theory, feminist theory, and relational theory. I also like to incorporate mindfulness-based practices (e.g., yoga, meditation, etc.) into my approach, as I believe mindfulness is essential to the healing process. I am particularly interested in how our past experiences impact who we are today, and through trauma-informed practices, I work with my clients to help them better understand how their past experiences have shaped them.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults and families. I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of life circumstances and issues; however, I have specialty training working with school-aged children, college students and families. My approach to working with clients is to first provide them an environment where their life circumstances can be understood so they can feel safe to explore new possibilities. My priority as a therapist is that my clients feel empowered to live their best life within their own unique set of cultural factors while taking into account their personal goals.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. I enjoy working with all ages from adolescence to teens to adults. I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues. When clients come to work with me in therapy we use a collaborative approach to increase rapport. As we build trust together I really hone in on honesty, transparency, and authenticity. The best way engage in therapy is by showing up as you are so I can meet you where you're at nonjudgmentally because harsh self criticism blocks us from self compassion.
