Everyone experiences challenging times or life changes at one point or another. As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate through these times so that you can approach them with confidence and self-compassion. Whether you are experiencing depression or anxiety, entering a new life phase or experiencing a more chronic stressor, therapy can provide a judgement-free space for self-exploration.
Over the last decade, I have worked with both adolescents and adults in many different settings. I specialize in perinatal mental health (pregnancy through the postpartum period), trauma and chronic illness. My therapy approach is tailored to each client’s needs and preferences, and I pull from several evidence-based modalities.
Starting therapy is a big step, and I'm glad you are here! Please do not hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit for one another.
