When I went through postpartum depression it created a passion for me to help other people who are going through something similar to feel like they don't have to go through it alone and that what they are experiencing is normal and okay. This can be such an isolating experience and helping others to feel supported through this transition is very important to me as a person and a professional.

I have experienced anxiety throughout my life and understand that it can feel so overwhelming and the thoughts that race through your mind can be very convincing. I will help you to explore those thoughts in a way that both validates and supports your emotional experience, and provide you with strategies to work through those anxious feelings and thoughts.

It's hard to say what may or may not be traumatic for someone, and those experiences can be hard to talk about. It can feel like you're alone or that people won't understand. It can bring up overwhelming emotions just to think about or talk about the experience. My goal is to provide a safe space to talk through those emotions and experiences, while providing strategies for staying in the moment and not letting those emotions swallow you.

Solution focused brief treatment has the aim of identifying a concern and finding strategies to work towards solving the problem. Many times, people enter therapy feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, and solution focused brief treatment can help to alleviate some of those feelings in order to create a plan for meaningful change.

I use techniques from DBT to help clients explore their thought patterns and strategies they use to manage intense emotions. DBT can help to accept the waves of emotions and learn ways to tolerate big feelings and work through intense situations.

I utilize techniques from CBT to help clients evaluate thinking patterns that may be inaccurate or harmful and work to change those thoughts to more rational and helpful thoughts, which can create lasting change in feelings and behaviors.
