In therapy, I help clients understand the underlying reasons for their behavior, process past and present experiences, learn how to better manage distress, accept themselves, become more flexible, and feel more in alignment with their own values. Therapy will always involve spending the time to build a trusting relationship. We will talk about your experiences, identify areas of strength and concern, learn new skills, deepen understanding of self and others, and build resilience. For younger clients, therapy may also include playing, creating stories, and drawing. I collaborate with clients and their families, schools, and medical teams when it is appropriate to do so, and enjoy working with parents alongside their children.

My style in therapy is relational and warm, and my training includes:

• Attachment-based treatment

• Psychodynamic / insight-oriented therapy

• Specialized training in perinatal mental health and reproductive psychology

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

• SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)

  • CBT for Insomnia

  • CBT for anxiety and depression

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) (trauma treatment for adults)
