Cultivating Change

"Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by discomforts."

- Arnold Bennett

Areas of Expertise

As an inclusive therapist, I create a welcoming environment that acknowledges and respects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all by creating a space where every individual is valued. I am committed to providing compassionate care that respects your identity, faith/spirituality, cultures/backgrounds, and experiences.

Trauma

Adverse childhood experiences, culture, belonging, socioeconomic class, faith, and relationships are just some aspects of what shapes who we are as individuals. Traumatic events and other barriers like chronic illness/pain can feel out of control and difficult to manage.

As a trauma informed therapist, I use evidence based therapy like EMDR and CPT to assist individuals on the journey to healing.

Personality Disorders

Individuals who struggle with personality disorders have difficulties relating to people and situations. There are many types of personality disorders and they usually start in teen to early adulthood. Unhealthy thinking and behavior may cause significant limitations in someone's life. Using Dialectic Behavior Therapy, you can learn about your moods and behaviors, learn to cope with symptoms, and reduce behaviors that may interfere with functioning and relationships.

Perinatal Mental Health

"Postpartum depression" is often the phrase you hear regarding mental health of new parents. However, perinatal mental health include individuals experiencing loss and grief from miscarriage, adoption, stillborn, birth complications, and so much more. It not only examines depression but anxiety, OCD, psychosis, Bipolar, and PTSD both during and after. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can happen to anyone, but there is well researched treatment options out there. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International (PSI) and I can help.
