About me
I have practiced psychotherapy for the past 15 years with a focus on children and families, parent coaching, perinatal mental health, anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD. Many of my clients are also in their 20s or 30s working through life transitions.
Deciding to speak to a therapist is a step in the direction of health - mental, emotional, and sometimes physical. My clients usually come to me after they have tried all they can think of - I feel honored to be their next step and honor the steps they've already taken. Whether a client's concerns pertain to parenting or becoming a parent, perinatal mental health, life transitions, ADHD, or general mental health, I enjoy working together with my clients to determine the best next steps for them.
I believe each person brings his or her own unique story and whole self (physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual) into the therapeutic setting, and I believe that story should be valued and protected. My desire is that you experience therapy with me as a safe place to bring your whole self and story.
