I have worked for years as a clinician in an acute, inpatient psychiatric setting and have learned that I find working with trauma and stress related issues to be particularly rewarding in addition to working with clients to help manage mood, anxiety, OCD and depression so that individuals, couples and families can live an optimally functioning life. I believe clients are the experts on themselves and I work collaboratively to identify and implement strengths, needs and changes (as well as acceptance when change is not possible).

*Please note that the Grow Therapy calendar is not very flexible and as a result does not reflect my full availability - if you schedule with me I will contact you as soon as possible to work out a consultation time (a free, 15-20 minute conversation to see if we seem like a good fit for therapy)* I work from a Feminist Therapy perspective, in a way that seeks to minimize the power imbalance inherent in clinical settings, centers the client’s story in our work, recognizes that the client is the expert on their own life, and helps the client identify their own sources of power. I use a mix of Acceptance & Commitment, Narrative and Existential therapy.

I have treated individuals with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, life transitions and stress. I also have a passion for maternal mental health and able to work with those experiencing postpartum and peripartum mood and anxiety disorders. I am also familiar in working with those who have suffered perinatal loss and infertility. My belief is that therapy is a collaborative process. I will work with you by creating an individualized plan to help achieve your goals! My years of experience have given me a wealth of knowledge on how to treat various mental health concerns.
