Using narrative therapy, resilient grief, and physiological hope theory, we will work together to seek a renewed understanding of your life changes and move toward acceptance.
As a maternal-infant mental health psychologist, I'm a pioneer of healing and advocacy for instances of birth and death trauma. It's not within my power to erase your grief, but I can accompany you, offering you the support needed to navigate your way toward healing. There's no 'right' path for personal growth; it's all about what suits you best. My role is to assist you in finding your equilibrium and determining your journey's pace to achieve balance.

I would love to help you discover self-compassion, healing, and acceptance through an individualized treatment plan based on your unique strengths, challenges, preferences, and needs.
As a therapist, I specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, trauma care, and caregiver fatigue. My work with LGBTQ+ clients focuses on creating a safe, affirming space where they can explore their identities and confront societal challenges. I believe in validating experiences and providing tools for resilience. In trauma care, I use evidence-based approaches to help clients process their pasts, fostering healing and empowerment. For caregivers, I understand the exhaustion that comes with supporting others, offering strategies for self-care and boundary-setting. My goal is to support each client on their journey toward healing.

I use effective, proven tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide both individuals and couples toward their chosen destinations.
Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change.

I utilize ACT, CBT, and mindfulness to treat a wide range of mental health concerns.
Therapy can be hard, regardless if this is your first time seeking help or if you’ve had some experience in treatment. Sometimes we may feel our lives are so complicated that we don’t even know where to start. If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed or lost, it might be time to allow yourself to be supported and prioritized. I’d be honored to help you identify and initiate action towards the valuable life you strive to live. I have several years of experience helping teens and adults identify and adopt healthier patterns of thinking and feeling to improve their quality of life and relationships.
