My specialties include anxiety, perinatal-related mental health, divorce, single parenting, trauma, chronic illness, suicidal ideation, and religious trauma. My experience ranges from inpatient and outpatient psychiatric and medical facilities, both pediatric and adult, to school settings. I work with adults, teens, children age 10 and older, couples and families. I’ve also provided individual and relationship counseling for those who identify as LGBTQ+. I’ve also completed advanced training in EMDR, Gottman (Level 2 Trained), Perinatal Mental Health, Trauma-focused Yoga Method, CBT, and DBT.

My practice is patient-centered and strengths-based. Collaborative space to explore what you’re experiencing – together with evidence-based interventions – offers possibility for dynamic change. I will utilize a combination of new coping skills, deeper insight, and healing to help you move forward.

I show up as a therapist who is authentic, direct, and warm in my approach. I use my broad range of personal and professional experiences to support my patients and help them reach their therapy goals. I join with patients to move forward from traumatic experiences, better manage anxiety and depression, cope with new medical diagnoses or chronic illness. I support those going through family transitions, such as new parents, single parents, and relationship changes. I also work with those experiencing self harm, suicidal thoughts, and larger existential questions. If this is what you’re looking for, please schedule an appointment.
