I use techniques from psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR, existential and other therapies as needed.
I believe everyone deserves and is within reach of a fulfilling life. What stands in the way may be external or internal, current issues or past traumas, conscious choices and behaviors or subconscious beliefs and values. It commonly manifests as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, distorted sense of self, and questioning of one’s purpose in this world. I became a therapist to help others navigate these obstacles and realize a healthy, authentic life with a sense of hope for today and tomorrow.

I am trained in EMDR, CPT, and Seleni Institute Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, Perinatal Loss and Grief, and Maternal Mental Health Intensive for Young Parents.
I hope to partner with you! I will offer clinical expertise in perinatal issues, trauma, and attachment. I lean into my own lived perinatal experiences within the client-therapist dynamic. What I’ve found matters most is finding someone to walk alongside you. We are wired for connection, and despite what the movies portray the fertility, pregnancy and/or postpartum experience to look like, it can be a time where you feel cut off from others and yourself in unexpected ways. Previous pregnancy loss and miscarriage can also impact an experience we’ve longed for.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. I provide free consultations so you can get an idea if we are a good fit. It has been my passion the last 17 years to help people after experiencing traumatic events. I am trained in EMDR which is also known as "no talk therapy". You can share as much or as little as you like making it a preferable type of therapy for those struggling with trauma but not comfortable talking about it. I have also worked closely with first responders for the last 10 years making me familiar with the culture. I also provide consultation and subject matter testimony for domestic violence trials.

I use a direct and compassionate person-centered approach, utilizing attachment theory, art therapy, and treatment of trauma with EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing.
First and foremost, it takes so much strength to reach out for help and I am glad you are here. It may have taken you a while to get here - maybe your undiagnosed ADHD put it off, or a people-pleasing part of you has put others before yourself, or a perfectionist part that felt bad that you couldn't "fix it" on your own. I believe seeking therapy and inner healing can hold joy and humor as deeply as it can confront and hold pain. My hope is to create a non-judgmental, secure space for you to safely embrace every part of you. Through it all, I will be there alongside you to remind you that you don’t have to carry it all on your own.
