I believe that whether you're needing support with a current challenge, a past trauma, or navigating a life transition, you deserve a space that is welcoming and free of judgment. My goal as your therapist is to help you feel empowered and in control. I do not claim to be the expert on your life, and consider therapy a collaborative process where your voice matters. Common issues I address include coping and self-regulation skills, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting support, self-esteem, safe expression of feelings, grief, psycho-education, safety planning, healthy relationships, boundaries, and pregnancy/postpartum support. I use a trauma-informed/integrative approach to create a plan that specifically addresses your unique needs. In addition to traditional talk therapy, my clients who are interested in exploring creative outlets have the option of engaging in Art Therapy. I also hold active certifications in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and domestic violence (ICDVP). I warmly welcome you to reach out to me with questions regarding services! I understand it can be tough to get started, but it's a journey that you don't have to walk alone.
