What To Expect Working Together:

​

I specialize in working with adult women and mothers seeking counseling and support for varying mental health concerns. I offer virtual therapy using a HIPAA compliant version of the teleconferencing platform, Zoom. Virtual therapy has been shown to be largely as effective as in-person therapy and allows for participation from the comfort and convenience of your own home or any other private and secure space of your choosing. 

​

I understand that finding the right therapist has the potential to feel like an overwhelming or daunting task. That's why I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation call to get to know each other, discuss your goals for therapy, and share about my therapeutic style and approach. This is also an opportunity to answer any questions you may have and to get a sense for whether we'll be a good fit to do this work together. I have found the consultation call acts as a great foundation for establishing therapeutic rapport and creating a sense of comfort with transitioning into the therapy process. 

 

It's my passion and  priority to create a safe, comfortable, and understanding space for my clients. Our sessions will be your time to be completely yourself, free of judgment or expectations. As a humanistic therapist, I believe that individuals have the ability to change and grow, and I see my role as helping you to identify and access your own inner resources.I have extensive training in cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, which are proven to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues. I also have specialized training in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders as well as perinatal loss and grief.

 

Starting with the initial consultation call and from the moment we begin therapy, my focus is on fostering a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel connected and supported on your path towards healing. I am committed to providing personalized and compassionate care to each of my clients.

A Shout Out To My Fellow Tired Moms:

​

If your day to day looks anything like mine (my 5 year old is screaming in the background right now and my one year old is sitting on my lap "helping me" type this, ahhhhh), then I SEE YOU and I GET IT!  Whether trying to balance parenthood with your career or feeling overwhelmed as a stay at home mom (one of the hardest jobs there is!), or wondering if what just started as the baby blues has actually turned into postpartum depression or anxiety...

 

Or if you're feeling irritable, overstimulated, touched out, guilty, spread too thin, or anything else in between, then I am here to support you and walk alongside you on your motherhood journey.  I understand the daily struggles that come with navigating the complexities of parenthood. As a mother of two young children, I know firsthand the ups and downs, and how important it is to have the right support system in place. I welcome the opportunity to play a role in your support system, while offering guidance and tools to help you confidently navigate this season of life. I look forward to connecting with you.
