Hey! How brave of you to research your therapy options. It can feel so scary to take that first step, and you did it! If you choose to pursue therapy, you can be assured that you are not alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.

At their first session, my clients often tell me that they don’t know what therapy will be like. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you know yourself best. In therapy, I am not the expert on your life; you are. I will serve as a guide as you work through the messy, raw, and unfiltered areas of your life. Together, we will discuss and implement strategies to make your burdens  feel lighter. My wild hope for you is that you go forward with the skills and confidence to thrive.

One thing every mother knows is that it isn’t easy to be a mom! I have experience treating women in every stage of motherhood, with specific training in the fields of maternal and child mental health. I am passionate about helping women discover their resilience and manage their depression (including perinatal and postpartum depression), anxiety, stress, trauma, or even just feelings of being in a “funk”. Utilizing my evidence based training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and training through Postpartum Support International I am equipped to help support YOU.

I am a Registered Play Therapist™ and provide play therapy services to children and families. Play is a child’s language; it’s a way for children to express strong emotions that they may be unable to verbalize. When children have challenges at home and/or school, it can leave a parent feeling overwhelmed and wondering how best to support their child. Play therapy provides a healthy outlet for the child’s emotions so they can build healthy relationships at school and with family and friends. 

I am also trained in EMDR. This is a modality that provides people the opportunity to heal from challenging and traumatic experiences. An element of EMDR is to evaluate how past experiences have impacted their present lives. The hope is to help these past experiences be less intensified and become more supportive presently and in the future.

Feel free to call to see if we are a good fit, if you have any questions, or want to set an appointment! I look forward to meeting you!
