I provide therapy for adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and perinatal and postpartum concerns. I work with individuals facing the impact of traumatic events, life transitions, and reproductive and perinatal mental health challenges, including infertility, miscarriages, and perinatal anxiety and depression. I have worked with members of the military, veterans, first responders, and others who have experienced highly stressful or traumatic events. They often feel overwhelmed by new or past problems that are affecting their ability to function and lead fulfilling lives. They want to regain control, feel at peace, and move forward without the weight of these experiences holding them back.

Life’s challenges can sometimes feel insurmountable, but with the right support, it’s possible to overcome them. Whether you are coping with trauma, managing anxiety, dealing with perinatal or postpartum issues, or navigating a major life transition, therapy can help. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, learn effective coping strategies, and build resilience. Together, we’ll work on developing the skills you need to manage your mental health and enhance your quality of life.

With experience providing therapy to individuals in residential, outpatient, anxiety, and trauma-specialized clinics, I have supported individuals through some of their most difficult times. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I also offer therapy tailored to perinatal and postpartum mental health, helping those facing the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum adjustment. Through individual therapy, I focus on empowering people to heal and grow from even the most difficult experiences.

Finding the right therapist is important. In our first session, we’ll discuss your needs and goals to ensure we’re a good fit for each other. Sessions are typically weekly and taper off as you become better able to apply interventions from therapy into your life. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can develop the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges independently, with confidence and resilience.
