Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening or deeply traumatic event, such as combat, abuse, accidents, or disasters. Symptoms include flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, hyperarousal, and negative mood changes that disrupt daily life for more than a month. I am trained in the use of several approaches to treat PTSD including EMDR, Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders including depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. These challenges often go unrecognized due to stigma, shame, fear, or lack of awareness about available support. You are not alone. I focus on supporting whole-person wellness during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. My goal is to help you navigate the complexities of pregnancy and parenthood.

An eclectic approach to therapy is a flexible, highly customized style of psychotherapy where the therapist uses a blend of different therapeutic techniques rather than adhering strictly to one school of thought.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life events. It uses guided, side-to-side eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess negative memories so they are less emotionally charged.
