I work with men and women that are navigating PTSD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. I am also specialized in working with Perinatal Mental Health clients. 

​

Perinatal Mental Health

​

Pregnancy and postpartum mental health is my area of focus. I specialize in helping moms-to-be and new moms navigate the challenges that sometimes come with motherhood. In addition to individual therapy I also offer group therapy for moms in pregnancy, postpartum, and at all stages.

My approach

I utilize evidence-based approaches that are best suited for each unique client and believe that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is best. The approaches that I pull from the most are Somatic Nature-Based Therapy and inner-child work. I am also trained in TF-CBT, ERP, and integrate those techniques when appropriate.

 I would describe my approach as goal oriented and directive, when necessary, while also implementing patience and compassion. I work best with clients that are eager to see changes in their lives and are willing to leave ineffective coping skills in the past.
