It can be challenging to seek help, especially when you're feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. You are officially taking the first step!
Therapy is an investment in yourself; together we can begin a journey of hope and healing. Whether you are navigating a new life transition, coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, perinatal concerns, grief/loss — you are worthy of support and a nonjudgemental, safe space where you can explore your life experiences and heal.
I am certified as a perinatal mental health therapist. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD and Brainspotting as a unique alternative to talk to therapy. I offer a warm, integrative approach that enables you to discover personal strengths, goals, and core values to become your most authentic self.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel safe within themselves. I will meet you where you are now and provide coping skills and interventions to foster positive change in the future. I invite you to envision how you hope to feel after therapy and reach out when you feel ready.
