We are a private practice group that provides general psychotherapy treatment such as anxiety, depression and also specializes in women's maternal mental wellbeing such as postpartum, infertility and stillbirth. We are dedicated to restoring our client’s mental wellbeing.

Deciding to take a stand on your mental health is a bold and courageous personal step. I have a deep passion to help woman navigate mental health issues related to battling infertility, miscarriage, child loss along with women’s health related issues. I am aware how these issues impact mental health by increasing depression and anxiety, self esteem, body image and impact relationships and finances. Additionally, I have extensive experience in working with individuals battling chemical dependency, anger issues, difficulty in relationships, financial hardships and struggling to meet their own personal goals.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed? anxious? or not like yourself lately? If you’ve been struggling lately, know that you are not alone. The last few years have been challenging for many people due to the ongoing pandemic, which has caused a lot of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and to experience a range of negative emotions during these times. However, with the right support, healing and positive changes can occur. As a Licensed Clinical therapist, I can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore the patterns and behaviors that may no longer be serving you.

Over the course of the past 20 years, I have had the honor of treating youth, adults, families, and couples who have worked through adjustment issues, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity, relationship challenges, infertility, coping with a chronic illness, and conflict resolution.

As a practice, we are a multidisciplinary team of Clinicians with varying educational degrees, licensees, and areas of expertise. Supervised by Sara Stockton, LMFT, MA, this group practice is systemically and relational trained to provide specialized treatment including individual, play, family therapy, couples therapy, substance abuse treatment, intimacy and affair treatment, Mindfulness Based Therapy, psychological testing and medication management. Our clinical work is founded on a belief in the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of providing a safe environment for all of our clients.

With warmth, empathy and compassion, I provide psychotherapy to adults who are struggling with self-criticism, anxiety, grief, depression or relationship problems. I specialize in helping individuals heal from experiences of trauma and have expertise in women's issues that can impact mental health like pregnancy, parenting, infertility, menopause, and pregnancy loss. Finally, I offer therapy for couples and families who are wishing to heal from conflict, and improve relationship satisfaction.

I am passionate about helping adults navigate their complex inner worlds. I enjoy working with those who project confidence and self-assurance in various facets of life yet privately battle grief, depression, or anxiety. I also enjoy working with women and pregnancy-capable people to understand how their mental health and reproductive health journeys are intertwined. I create a compassionate space for clients who have experienced MDD, infertility, and perinatal loss, including abortion and miscarriage.

On the outside you’ve got it all together. You’re smart, successful and a support person for friends/family. But inside you’re feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, alone. Are you tired, frustrated, anxious, sad? Having a hard time falling asleep? Overthinking situations that happened or replaying things over and over in your head? Feeling burnt out, irritable, snappy or not like yourself? Struggling to make decisions? Exhausted by long “to-do” lists? Worried about the future or feeling “stuck?” Tried all the things you normally do to feel better, but they aren’t working? You aren’t alone! I’m here and I can help.

I specialize in working with women and children. I am trained in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, specializing in working with postpartum mood disorders, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, infertility, pregnancy loss, people trying to conceive, and termination for medical reasons. I also work very closely with parents on parenting difficulties and strategies. Besides supporting women through motherhood, I am also passionate about supporting high achieving women manage anxiety and stress and unlearning unhelpful patterns in their personal and professional lives.

There is nothing more important than family. Nuclear family. Extended family. Chosen family. All family. As humans, we are biologically wired to think about family building at a young age. As we age, this vision shifts and changes based on life experiences. But when we are faced with the reality that the vision we planned on throughout our life is not possible, it’s traumatic. Our world is rocked. Feelings of being out of control, overwhelmed, shame, and grief often surface. It’s all consuming. Anxious thoughts takeover. The trauma and stress that comes along with family building challenges is significant.

I help individuals, couples, and families dealing with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma, life transitions, infertility and grief.

How would your life change if you could tap into your full potential? What if you could have anything you want for your life? Today you are one step closer to a new you. I believe that people can reach their potential with hard work and support. I work with clients to help them feel empowered. As a person-centered, interpersonal therapist, I help clients find, develop, and cultivate the good that already exists within them. My ultimate goal is being a transparent therapist while providing warmth.

I support clients with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma as well as health related concerns such as diabetes, chronic pain, PCOS and infertility. I have a particular interest in working with parents of special needs children who are seeking support and direction as they navigate the unique parenting challenges they face.

You are at the right place, at the right time. No matter what is driving you forward to seek help, it takes tremendous courage to start therapy. However, it is one decision you will not regret. Therapy is not a bad word and seeking help is okay. It is okay not to be okay. Life is made of twists and turns, mountains and valleys for which, I believe we learn, grow and journey into our purpose and deepen self-discovery. If you find yourself struggling through depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, infertility/post partum, your Christian faith or are in a difficult life transition, I would love to help you navigate through this time.

I work with women of all ages who experience anxiety, overwhelm and struggle to focus on their own needs. Problem areas may include becoming explosive or frustrated toward those you love and having difficulty changing your emotional reactions no matter how hard you try. You may feel like your life is not headed in the direction you would like it to go. Common concerns specific to women who have children include anger and rage, resentment, not feeling like yourself and feeling as though you can’t keep it together like “all the other moms.”

Collaboratively, you and I may explore thoughts, emotions, behaviors, family of origin, and the contextual circumstances of your life.
