As a therapist, I understand how difficult it might be to take the first step toward healing. I have spent several years helping, assisting, and supporting others to do this very thing. My work with each client is unique; I use a blend of techniques which include client-centered, trauma focused, attachment focused, and solution-focused methods - focusing on the client's goals, as well as their strengths. My aim is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore concerns, while balancing empathy with an engaged and interactive style.

Whether you are a young adult, parent or a child, we can all struggle with depression, anxiety or trauma in our lifetime. Even as adults we still crave to be taken care of. Whether we struggle with low self esteem, identity formation, solo parenting or co-parenting, we all need extra support parenting in this day and age. As children, we can struggle with development and/or behavior and as parents, we can feel very isolated or lost. As we grow and develop we go through many transitions and sometimes we just need someone with us along the way. We may struggle with self esteem, depression, anxiety or even trauma.

I will address your needs in a holistic manner which will involve a balance of your mind, spirit, and body. I am well versed in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, existential therapy, and transpersonal psychotherapy and use these in treatment to promote healing.

I work with ARC Counseling and Wellness as a Psychological Associate. I enjoy bringing out the inner strength in people.

I treat each person individually as there is no one size fits all approach, everyone will have different needs. My background has been in reproductive and newborn health, before I expanded into mental health.

Summer used to be (and sometimes still is) a chance to rest and enjoy, but this does not diminish work stress, residual academic pressure, parenting challenges, or feeling disconnected from relationships!

I have special training and experience working with new parents, students of all ages (college and graduate school included) and people with disabilities. In all stages of life, I hope to offer a supportive space for you to process your experiences and determine next steps.
