Great to meet you!
I began my career working with substance use disorders and mental health disorders in 2006. The first 13 years of my career were centered on helping individuals and families recover from substance use disorders which often included co-morbid mental health disorders. The latter part of my career has been primarily focused on women’s health. I have specialized in helping to support women who are facing infertility, loss or miscarriage, perinatal and postpartum mood shifts. I truly enjoy supporting women while they navigate motherhood and all that this brings. I work with men and women age 18 and up.
I use a holistic approach to therapy with a focus in the following areas of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems. In this work, I love to help people heal and grow in their relationship with self and others. I am a trauma informed therapist who is skilled in treating PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, and Mood Disorders.
I am a certified yoga teacher, and I believe it is important to incorporate the body into therapy. I incorporate body centered techniques to help people engage with their nervous system and take back control of their stress response. Whether you or a loved one is struggling with ongoing mood disorder symptoms or are going through a difficult life experience I can help to empower you to feel more grounded and more confident in your ability to manage hard times. By changing our thoughts and behaviors we can improve our relationship with ourselves as well as with those around us.
