I have specialized in working with clients to help them gain greater insight into how their thoughts and behaviors impact not only themselves, but other people in their lives. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be used as a model for building on relationships with those that matter most to us, outside of the office.

Are you struggling on the path to parenthood? I am currently scheduling new patients for support with maternal or paternal mental health challenges, including Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or Depression during the perinatal or postpartum period.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the painful thoughts running through their minds all day. Perhaps it is an unrelenting self critic who never lets you feel good enough. Or a list of anxious “what if’s” that keeps you awake at night, preparing for the worst. For some, it is scary, shameful thoughts that come out of nowhere.
