Life is a series of challenges. Society reinforces quick fixes to be happy. I am realistic and believe that living the kind of life you desire is not about avoiding distress and challenges. It is about learning skills and having the right tools to function while feeling distress and facing those challenges. True growth occurs in the face of discomfort, so therapy is not always easy. I provide a safe space while you go through those times of discomfort. It is the willingness to tolerate that discomfort and when real transformation and empowerment occurs.

Knowing how common postpartum depression is, I am passionate about increasing awareness, prevention and treatment of perinatal and postpartum mood disorders. I also have extensive experience treating various forms of abuse and neglect after providing clinical services to adolescents with a complex trauma presentation for more than a decade.
After working with adolescents for many years, my approach is one that is genuine and practical. The complexities of human nature are endless, and as such, while I utilize both Cognitive Behavioral interventions and Acceptance based approaches, I tailor my approach to the needs of my client.
