I have both professional and lived experience with anxiety disorders. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, I help my clients lower stress and manage anxiety by helping them build coping skills and develop strategies that work.

I specialize in treating children ages 8+ with a variety of issues including anxiety, emotion regulation, behavioral issues, self-esteem, and ADHD. I offer a safe, welcoming space for children to learn how to identify and cope with big feelings and incorporate fun activities to keep them engaged.

I have both professional and lived experience with pregnancy and postpartum issues. I have specialized training in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and have developed a passion for helping parents navigate this challenging stage of life. I help my clients work through a variety of issues including anxiety about pregnancy and childbirth, breastfeeding challenges, postpartum depression, and grief/loss.

Person-centered therapy is a non-directive approach that is personalized to your needs. This means I meet you where you are and help you create a plan to get where you want to be. You will be welcomed into a space where you can be genuinely you and feel fully supported and respected in making your own decisions about your personal growth.

Solution focused therapy is short-term and goal-focused. This type of therapy is best when you are looking for help with moving forward as opposed to exploring past events. In our time together, we set goals, develop action steps, and work towards change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and that making changes in these areas can improve our mental health. In our sessions, I will help you analyze, challenge, and replace the unhelpful thinking patterns that drive feelings like anxiety, depression, and anger. You will learn strategies and skills that you can use in your daily life to improve your ability to cope with life's stressors.
