New to Grow
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience helping adults with: • Anxiety and depression • Trauma and PTSD, including childhood abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence • Reproductive mental health (TTC, fertility treatment, pregnancy, postpartum, loss) • Stress, burnout, and major life transitions Before private practice, I trained at Emory University School of Medicine and Columbia University. I also led postpartum depression programming at Maven, a national digital health program. I know scheduling a first session can be really hard. If you’d like to chat before booking, please feel free to contact me through my Psychology Today profile (https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1667624).
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll slow things down and talk about what’s going on: what brought you in, what you’ve tried, and what you hope will feel different. You don't have to tell your whole story all at once. We’ll go at a pace that is right for you. By the end, I’ll share how I’m understanding what you’ve described and we'll decide together what your treatment will look like.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I work to create a calm environment where you can process difficult experiences and emotions while feeling safe and supported. I’m comfortable sitting with you through strong emotions and helping you make sense of where they’re coming from. My approach is warm and validating.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with a wide range of clients from diverse backgrounds. If my approach resonates, I encourage you to reach out. Many of my clients want to gain insight or feel less alone. Others use therapy to work with fear, shame, or guilt. I tailor treatment to your needs so you can feel hopeful about the future.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-worth. By exploring connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you’ll better understand why you feel the way you do and how core beliefs shape your view of yourself, others, and the world. From there, we can update patterns that once helped you cope but now keep you stuck.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps you understand your emotions more clearly, both what you feel on the surface and what’s underneath. Therapy becomes a space to slow down and explore feelings safely, rather than pushing them away. Over time, you can feel more in control of the intensity of your emotions and find new ways of working with them.
Interpersonal
IPT is an evidence-based treatment for depression and PTSD. It’s also helpful around pregnancy, postpartum, or pregnancy loss. It focuses on the present, such as major transitions, relationship conflict, grief, or isolation, rather than the past. Together we look at how your communication patterns and support system affect your mood and help you find new ways of connecting.
Trauma Informed Care
A lot of trauma responses are like armor that once kept you safe but now feels heavy or gets in the way of the life you want. Together we make sense of that armor, how it helped and how it hurts, and work on softening shame and self-blame while building skills in communication and self-advocacy, so you can move through the world feeling more steady and empowered.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
PE is a first-line treatment for PTSD and is especially helpful if you feel constantly reminded of what happened, have nightmares, or avoid people, places, or situations that trigger those memories. In a structured, supportive environment, we gradually revisit a traumatic experience and work through difficult feelings like shame, guilt, or self-blame, so that you can feel more in control of your life again.
