I work from a holistic framework, blending cognitive psychology, mindfulness, current psychological research, and nature based therapy to help individuals and couples thrive. Sessions involve collaborating on an integrative treatment approach, combining insight, skills-based techniques, and creating objectives to meet goals and help clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shape who they are now. My work is to help people remove the obstacles that stand in the way of healing and one's capacity to be the best and truest version of oneself. Whether an individual comes to therapy with a vague sense that something is not right or an overwhelming sense of pain (or somewhere in-between), together we will create a safe space to being, to put words around your experience, and to create possibilities for change.

1 in 5 moms will experience some form of a perinatal mood disorder within the first year of becoming a mom. I hear from moms that they "just don't feel like themselves anymore." We tell ourselves it will get better soon, or that this must be normal. There is shame we feel thinking that we caused this or that we can do enough yoga or running to will ourselves into a better headspace, only to find we cannot. We feel trapped under the weight of expectations--both our own and those of the world around us.

I am passionate about helping you to create space to process the changes that are happening all around you as a parent. I have worked with moms long enough to know that there is no one right way to be a mom. You get to decide what this journey looks like for you, and I can help you in finding that and feeling your center of gravity again.

I am here to help you get unstuck and lead a more satisfying life. Whether you are a teenager, parent, college student, or adult, I can help you cope more effectively with whatever has got you "fed up", "at the end of your rope", or feeling otherwise like it's time to try something different.
