learn about what we do and how we do it

Sometimes we all feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, stressed, lost, confused, or inadequate. Sometimes, we can handle and manage on our own. Sometimes, we need help.

I want to help you.

I want to help you feel the way you want to, think and function in a healthy way, and have a positive view of who you are.

My primary focus is to provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and authentic space for you to bring whoever you are and whatever you have. I utilize experiential therapy which means I often integrate imaginative and active modalities to open your mind in a special way while we talk and process.

I want to support you.

Seeking support through therapy can be a hard step, but I promise you won't regret it.

My individual therapy approach is founded first in being person centered. That means I am empathetic, genuine, and non-judgmental. I also come with a cognitive behavioral lens so we often explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they work together to affect how you function. I tailor therapy to what you need, which may change session by session or season to season. I can listen to your venting, challenge your thoughts, or guide your decision making - whatever you need that day.

I deeply enjoy entering your world and getting to know what you love and what makes you run. I want to help you understand and care for yourself, and identify what's getting in your way to live the life you want and be the person you were made to be.

I can help with a lot of different things but my primary experience is dealing with anxiety, self-esteem, identity development, emotional regulation, and self-care.

Play is the primary language of children, and a way for adults to connect with them. Many children just need to feel valued and 1:1 attention through play therapy can provide that. There is therapeutic benefit in letting them lead. Children do not have a lot of true autonomy in their lives, and I provide a safe space where they get to decide what to do, how to feel, and who to be.

My approach focuses on being WITH, honoring their time and space, and helping to process and validate their experience. I utilize play to foster connection, teach skills, and affirm the child's value in just being who they are.

I am not a certified Play Therapist but I have completed trainings in it and plan to continue developing my skills and work toward expertise.

Please note: I do not have access to a play room at this time, so interventions are modified and play may be limited based on availability and space.

Perinatal therapy provides support during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood. This time is beautiful and overwhelming. It can create or amplify struggles with anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, and feelings of inadequacy. Therapy can provide a space to process these experiences in a safe and non-judgmental way, with someone who has personal experience in this area.

My approach is gentle, relational, and empathetic. I help clients navigate the emotional and logistical whirlwind during this unique time in life. Whether you are struggling with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, fertility challenges, pregnancy-related stress, or adjusting to life with a new baby, I can help.

I do not have specific training in this area, but it is something I am very passionate about and am working toward becoming an expert in.
