​Individual Therapy
​
No one has the perfect childhood.  Even if you come from a family that’s intact and loving, life presents crises and challenges when you least expect them. It may be the loss of a loved one, difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, frustrations around a job or reaching a life goal or a significant life transition.  I help clients explore their thoughts and feelings and uncover the patterns and behaviors that have shaped their lives.  I work both in the present and in the past to integrate different parts of ourselves into a more holistic whole.  I believe we can change our perceptions and feelings about the past – no matter how disturbing – so that difficult events become just another thread in our overall life tapestry. Once we do that, we can find more joy in the present and face the future with a more flexibility and openness.  I believe that people can grow and change at any age. Transitions – no matter how large or small – can be an opportunity for deeper work that leads to a fuller and more satisfying  life.

My therapeutic style is calm, deeply caring, and respectful of each person's unique goals, struggles, and strengths. I practice insight-oriented depth therapy, which means I help you gain awareness of your internal and external obstacles in order to promote deep and lasting changes in your life. I also provide practical tools to help soothe yourself and express yourself fully and to communicate and get along with the people in your life. I draw from multiple schools of therapy including psychodynamic, existential, family systems, attachment theory and somatic mindfulness.

Perinatal Mental Health - Mothering the Mother
​
​I provide mental, emotional and practical support to women throughout the perinatal period (conception to one year postpartum). I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where women can intimately explore and navigate this challenging and transformative life chapter.   The perinatal period offers unique opportunities for growth and transformation. I hold the space to help you adapt, learn and grow into becoming a mother.

I am a certified provider in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International and am experienced in supporting the emotional wellbeing of women through the perinatal spectrum including: family planning, managing high risk pregnancies, mood disturbances, intrusive thoughts, grief & loss, fetal anomalies, birth trauma, transitioning into parenting, self esteem, termination/abortion and changing relationships.

The world has modeled and normalized mothers sacrificing their emotional and mental wellbeing in order to meet the needs of their families.  I believe in mothering the mother.  I normalize prioritizing your health and well being in addition to caring for your family.
