As a licensed therapist, I believe my role is to be a tool for change and support as you walk your own path. I operate from the assumption that you are the expert of your own life, and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I bring unconditional warmth and empathy to sessions while also helping clients determine their own negative beliefs or patterns that may be contributing to feelings of distress. With increased awareness and insight, together we can work on letting go of fear, resentment, healing past wounds, expressing needs and boundaries, and building healthy relationships.
In our work together I will use a variety of different modalities to best support you and your presenting needs. I work with all populations, but specialize in perinatal mental health. The transition to becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences in life, and I have specialized training to support you through this unique transition.
Therapy is a relationship that requires a foundational connection in order to be effective. I offer free 15 minute consultations for you to determine if we are a good fit. I believe the best therapy is when a client leaves feeling seen, heard, and felt, so if this sounds like something you are needing in your life, I am available to walk the path with you.
