Supervised by Katie Fruhauff, PsyD

About My Clients

I work with adolescents and adults of varied ability statuses on clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, thought disorders, and complex trauma. Special interests include working with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, anyone in need of perinatal mental health support (specifically those who have experienced traumatic birth and parents of premature infants), and with individuals striving towards body neutrality and Health at Every Size.

My Background and Approach

Pulling from my education and lived experience, I am able to weave together my understanding of trauma-informed best practices with gentle challenges and humor to help you process the underlying causes of anxiety, depression, and repetitive patterns in your life. I believe in building a foundation of coping tools and psychoeducation while helping you work through the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as you build resilience and gain insight. I have a certificate in maternal mental health, and intensive specialized training in NICU parenting.
