Bundle of joy? Becoming a parent is so much more than labor and delivery. In fact, the transition begins long before the due date. For most, the journey begins with the idea of creating family. Even your outlook on the world can change once you've embarked on some part of this path. And while imagined to be only wondrous, becoming parents can also present significant challenges. If you have concerns around fertility, loss, pregnancy / postpartum distress, childbirth, hormonal changes, adoption or the many other topics during this phase of life- we can help.

We all have difficult times in our lives, and our reactions and thoughts can lead to or exacerbate anxiety, depression, and other unhealthy disorders. I work with teens and up, and I have extensive experience working with college students to help them find balance, motivation, and overcome their fears of "adulting." I use CBT, REBT and Reality Therapy. I believe it's not so much about negative experiences we have as it is about our ideas about these experiences. I teach how to reframe, set boundaries, and change how clients perceive situations to help reduce or remove negative emotions so they can live full and happy lives.

I incorporate a holistic approach that looks at a client from a whole person, mind-body perspective, focusing on identifying relational, lifestyle, or cognitive changes that may be beneficial to reaching your identified goals.
