As a therapist, I am focused on providing a safe and comfortable environment for you in an effective way that helps to facilitate change and healing. It is my belief that the combination of a trusting relationship paired with an empathetic and interactive approach can create a platform for personal growth that can allow you to reach your individualized goals. My role in this therapeutic process is to take a non-judgmental stance to motivate change through helping you identify, navigate, and cope effectively with unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.
I use a multidisciplinary approach including behavioral, cognitive, client centered and holistic psychotherapy to form individualized treatment plans. Thereby creating an atmosphere of trust, support and acceptance. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. My specialty areas include but are not limited to: anxiety, depression; grief and loss; perinatal mood disorders; infertility; birth trauma; maternal mental health; trauma; relationship issues.
I provide tele-therapy which offers convenience, accessibility and safety for clients. Although deciding to seek therapy can be incredibly difficult, it is also empowering to make the choices to take control of your life. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey towards continuous self improvement.
