I devote much of my training, reading, and treatment focus to the areas of Perinatal Mental Health (postpartum depression/anxiety), the use of EMDR to treat trauma and prolonged periods of stress, as well as grief therapy. I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor, Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor (ALPS) and have completed Training 1+2 of EMDR.
**I do not offer appointments after 200PM
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual therapy services to those experiencing adjustment disorders, women’s issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
I strive to bring my authentic self to the therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to assist you in finding your own answers while utilizing your unique strengths and attributes and learning skills to help you.
I maintain a holistic view of mental health and believe in the innate abilities of our bodies and minds to tend towards health and healing. I hope to help clients release that which holds them back so they can live their lives as their truest selves. I have experience in Brainspotting as well as other modalities.
Areas of treatment include: mindfulness, effective communication, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and changing problematic or unhelpful patterns you find yourself engaging in.
I am a mother, feminist, and supportive of LGBTQIA+
I specialize in treating teenagers struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidal ideation. I believe that the therapeutic process is a team approach that should involve parents and immediate family members when appropriate so that progress can continue outside of each session. I also have experience working with young adults and coping with everyday stressors as well as unresolved trauma.
I approach therapy with a trauma informed lens and use a client centered approach. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and trauma. I strive to create a safe space for all clients to heal and work through life’s challenges.
