My focus is working with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, worried, depressed, or struggling to manage daily stress. Much of my experience and training is focused on women and families experiencing mood challenges when having a baby (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), infertility, and adjusting to the many changes during this time. Also, I have much experience working with pre-teens and adolescents who may be struggling emotionally and/or behaviorally.
I have a passion for helping clients navigate life's challenges, find balance, and explore meaningful personal growth. My approach combines a warm, compassionate style with evidence-based practices, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I tailor therapy help you break through negative, self-limiting beliefs and habits that keep you feeling "stuck", using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other strengths based, trauma informed, solution focused therapy modalities. I believe that with the right support you can create the fulfilling life you've always wanted.
