Life can be complicated with challenging experiences, thoughts, feelings and even body sensations and my hope is that you are not holding it all alone. As a therapist, I strive to provide a secure space for you to engage in a non-judgmental, collaborative relationship. I believe in the strength and healing power that resides in the core of each person. Whatever challenges you are facing, I seek to come alongside you in the therapy space to facilitate healing and growth. I trust that together, we can work to make sense of what is happening - now and in the past to lead more empowered and fulfilled lives moving forward.
I specialize in Perinatal Trauma (birthing trauma, miscarriage, infertility, NICU, pregnancy), Postpartum Disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, OCD), Maternal Mental Health, Perimenopause & Menopause challenges. I have expertise in Sexual abuse/assault trauma & other traumatic events-utilizing Evidence Based Trauma Treatments to help the healing process.
My style is client-centered & strength based with a genuine heart to actively utilize various evidenced based practices to meet your goals. I have specialized training in EMDR, CBT, PMAD's, EFT & Parts/IFS. I integrate many proven theories & well researched approaches to bring what is needed into the therapy space to help you in your journey.
