My personal philosophy on trauma informed psychotherapy is based on western & eastern influences & focuses on a three phase model developed by Dr. Judith Herman-stabilization, reprocessing, & re-connection. In therapy with individuals, I work together to honor your unique life history & explore the impact it has on your functioning. In my work I have discovered that amazingly, the natural healing capacity of the human brain runs so deep that even the parts of our lives that are causing us difficulty can guide us toward healing.

None of us are immune to pain in life. We all have difficult thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationships. Sometimes we get stuck in these difficulties. Maybe life circumstances have left us depleted from prolonged stress, maybe we unconsciously picked up harmful beliefs about ourselves, maybe we were never taught helpful coping strategies or relationship skills, or maybe we’ve been hurt by others. While we might get stuck, we don’t have to stay that way. Working with a therapist can be an incredible and powerful experience that helps you get unstuck so you can create the life and relationships you’re seeking.

Hi, how are you? When that question is asked in therapy, you can truly share exactly how you are feeling. I really want to know. I understand firsthand how complex and complicated life can get and how overwhelmed and unsure we can feel at difficult times in our lives. It can be hard to know how to heal and move forward, make changes and find support. There are many external and internal factors that can inhibit us from living a full and valuable life. I would feel privileged to meet you where you are, hear your story, and work alongside you to find ways, unique and personalized for you, to bravely face your own unique challenges.

Therapy is a sacred space almost unlike any other. Therapy can be hard, as change is for most of us. And yet, there is also laughter, comfort and support, collaboration, aha moments, ease and joy and definitely love and caring.

Throughout our lives we all face storms of many kinds. Often, we don’t even realize we’re in a storm or that the storm is over. My role as your therapist is help you travel through those storms and come out the other side different than who you were before. I believe that everyone is capable of change and healing, and my approach to therapy stems from that belief. I like to work from several approaches while using a variety of evidence-based modalities to fit your specific needs.

Life happens to all of us and sometimes we need additional support. I want to be that support! Trauma isn't always from a big event, it can be a car accident, an incident at work, an unexpected loss or change. What is seen as trauma for one person might not be traumatic for another. Most of us have experienced trauma and since it isn't the same for everyone, I like to take a personalized approach. You are the expert in your life, so I want to work with you to create the best treatment plan for you to heal and move forward. There is strength in healing, but even more when you are not alone. It can be life changing and so worth it!

I understand the complexities of life and relationships and how hard it can be to navigate. It can feel overwhelming and even helpless at times. I approach life and therapy with a wide lens. I like to take a holistic approach to mental health and I understand that our mental, physical and spiritual parts are intertwined. As humans we are made to feel emotions. I don’t view life or therapy as a process of learning to avoid difficult or uncomfortable feelings or a process of perfection. I view it as a process of discovery, acceptance, growth, and understanding.

Asking for help can be tough, but it shouldn't be scary. It's not overreacting to ask for what you want and need - but it can be hard.

I specialize in helping people navigate the stress, anxiety, and sadness of life to find peace, joy and meaningful connection.

Life is hard, but it is not hopeless. There are many circumstances we would not choose to be part of our lives. These circumstances may even limit our choices. I have learned that it doesn't really matter if these limiting circumstances were brought on by yourself or others, if they were intentional or unintentional consequences of past or present behaviors, or if they are randomly introduced. Regardless, they are absolutely frustrating, painful, and time consuming. I am honored to work with individuals and families who are seeking professional support in these times.

I’ve experienced them in my own life, and I am privileged to watch them unfold in the lives of others every day.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
