About me

I specialize in working with women in the perinatal period, first responders, and children. I understand the challenges of adjusting to motherhood, infertility, experiencing vicarious trauma, and healing from adverse childhood experiences. Some clients want resources to help them keep going and meeting life's demands without revisiting their past; I can help with that. For others who want to dive deeper and find long term healing, my goal is to help them believe in their heart what they know in their brain. I'm worthy. I'm capable. I'm safe. I did the best I could. I'm the best parent for my child.

I help by providing a collaborative and solution-oriented approach, empowering individuals to find peace and balance in their lives. I’m certified in EMDR (including a specialization for children), Trauma Focused-CBT, and trauma-sensitive yoga. I'm using evidence-based techniques and checking in with you consistently saying, is this working for you?
In our first few sessions, you can expect a comfortable environment to get to know your goals for therapy. Clients describe me as warm, solution-oriented, and empowering. They often feel relief at the end of the session, gain insight about themselves, and learn new ways of approaching problems. I'm happy to chat with you and answer any questions you have.
Billing and insurance are made simple through Headway! Simply provide your insurance information and verification, and costs are available right away. Self-pay with easy online payment options is also available.

Modalities: Trauma Focused CBT, Strength-Based, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Humanistic, Behavior Modification, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Play
