Approach
My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, while tailoring each session to what feels most helpful for you. Together, we’ll process what you’re going through, gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical tools you can use in everyday life.
I am especially passionate about working with women in the perinatal season of life. Whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, newly postpartum, or just feeling like yourself again seems far away. I get it, both personally and professionally. That intersection of clinical training and lived experience shapes the care I bring to every session.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you — your story, your current challenges, and your goals. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path forward.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process built on direct communication—and yes, sometimes laughter—because therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. Drawing from Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD, I aim to support emotional, physical, and mental well-being while providing practical tools you can use in daily life.
