(she/her)
I have 22 years of experience as a therapist and social worker. I use a strengths-based, client-centered approach and I believe psychotherapy is an effective tool in helping people overcome fears, anxiety, depression, and maladaptive patterns and behaviors. I strive to help clients tap into strengths they didn't know they had, form more positive relationships, and heal old emotional wounds.
In our first session together, I conduct some intake questions to gather family history, health concerns, and mental health treatment history. Then we address what brings you to therapy and what outcomes you hope to achieve in working together. I formulate a treatment plan and we set a treatment schedule to begin the work.
Some of my greatest strengths are teaching coping skills to reduce anxiety and depression and helping you examine patterns throughout your lifetime of old behaviors that no longer serve you. You can expect to receive support during life transitions and discover strengths you did not know lie inside you. I'm here to help you become your best version of yourself.
I enjoy working with both men and women undergoing life transitions such as starting out in new careers and relationships. I most enjoy working to help couples develop positive communication and to work through relationship difficulties. I have helped families improve communication and set effective boundaries. I also enjoy helping support and coach new parents of infants and young children.
