My training focused on IPT. If you are unsure of what this is, it is exploring the ways that you interact with others and the world around you, including your patterns in relationships, communication and attachment with others. We will look at ways you once adapted to survive your previous environments, and find news ways to adapt if the way you are interacting in your world is no longer serving you.

I have received additional training to utilize mindfulness based approaches in therapy. Many of us spend a great deal of time thinking about the past or worrying about the future but not many of us know how to slow down and see the moment in front of us in its entirety.

My graduate program focused on teaching cultural competence. I think it is important that we include your cultural identities because these shape your unique experience and how the world interacts with you. Some of us do not have full awareness of what our cultural identities are, but others of us have a very keen understanding. Wherever you are at in your own cultural experience, we can work together to explore how your background, identities, family, beliefs, and values impact your experience.

I received additional training to support individuals during conception, pregnancy, postpartum and loss. I know we are often expecting this to be a time of joy, but so many of us experience more challenges, pain, and grief than we might have anticipated. Your experience is unique and so it is important to me that we slow down in therapy and understand your personal perinatal experiences so that we can help you heal from some of the pain and find movement towards your own personal hope.
