About My Clients

I see individuals (and families) 13+ years old and have specialized clinical experience in phobias, perinatal mood disorders (e.g. postpartum depression & anxiety), self-harm, eating disorders, child behavior problems, and grief/loss.

My Background and Approach

The therapeutic relation is a delicate dance built upon trust, communication, and a sound alliance. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is emotionally safe, while exploring and digesting deep-seated issues. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Solution Focused approaches. As a therapist, my job is never to judge a client’s journey; but rather, explore his/her path and ensure his/her needs are being met. I am always humbled and honored that my clients grant me access into their world. This is a privilege I take seriously, and honor this responsibility with strict adherence to confidentiality. I continue to learn and grow as a therapist from my interactions with my clients. Through compassion, honesty, flexibility, and clear communication, change and growth is possible.
