Modalities I often use with clients include: CBT, EMDR, Talk Therapy, Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic.
Finding a therapist can be hard, but connecting well with someone is the most effective tool. Call me for free 15 minute consult to see if we're a good fit. I specialize in Postpartum & Women's Issues, EMDR for Trauma & Self-esteem, and Pre-marital Counseling using tools from the Gottman method. I like using evidence based practices and giving my client's practical tools to takeaway with them in addition to the conversational/relational part of therapy. Looking forward to chatting!

Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed by life? Are you constantly questioning or doubting yourself? Do you ever feel like everybody else has it all figured out and you don’t? You're not alone. We all get stuck sometimes. Starting therapy may seem scary, but you have the power to heal and grow.

An adamant believer of the therapeutic mantra to “start where the client is,” I see therapy as a validating and safe space. I have an in-depth understanding of the way that psychosocial factors effect an individual's overall health and wellness. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their therapy goals and join with them as they progress towards positive and meaningful change.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

I have found that the most significant aspect of success in any therapeutic experience is the client-therapist relationship. It is very important to me that I create a safe, non-judgmental, environment for my clients. I tend to have a more casual and client-centered style and strive to provide a warm and empathetic environment, while also bringing humor and playfulness into my relationship with clients. Each of us has different experiences, which is why I tailor treatment styles to meet each client's individual needs. I believe in providing a safe space, in which clients can grow and feel comfortable being their authentic selves.
