Great to meet you!

If you are reading this, then something important is bringing you here. I'm glad you are here and see your courage in showing up to make change. My style combines the foundation of an authentic and warm therapeutic relationship with evidence based practices (CBT, ACT, EMDR, ERP), and I have training through Postpartum Support International to address perinatal issues/maternal mental health concerns. It would be an honor to join you on your journey, so let's make some positive changes together.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and active. I use an eclectic approach to combine treatment modalities to best help you reach your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Expect to take away something from every session whether it be an insight, new tool, or something to practice. In sessions, we can work together to process your emotions while also figuring out what to do to create change.
