Reliable Mind Care Together

Anxiety & Depression

Everyone has “down” days, but persistent sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety can negatively interfere with all areas of life. Clinical symptoms of depression may include persistent feelings of guilt, a loss of interest in enjoyable activities, changes in sleeping and eating patterns, irritability, difficulty concentrating, problems with motivation, and feeling disengaged from others.

You may feel plagued by intrusive negative thoughts about your relationships, job, or future. Perhaps you repeat the same negative thoughts over and over or anticipate the worst. These negative thought patterns can induce physical symptoms like sweating, racing heart, and difficulty breathing. They may also cause you to feel drained, weighed down, and hopeless.

How Therapy Can Help

We will combine evidence-based practices (e.g., DBT, CBT, EFT, ACT, Mindfulness) to create a specialized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms. Therapy can help people feel hopeful about the future, become more decisive and assertive, and increase feelings of self-acceptance and self-worth.

Couples

As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman approach (Levels 1 & 2), I specialize in working with couples. Together, we work collaboratively to rebuild connection, revive communication, and reaffirm the vitality of the relationship.

Through an experiential process, I guide each individual towards a deeper understanding of the other and facilitate emotional healing to deepen the intimate connection between partners. Whether you are facing communication issues, feeling disconnected, or struggling with perpetual problems, I am here to help.

My approach to couples therapy is tailored to the unique needs and goals of each couple, drawing upon evidence-based practices to help couples achieve lasting change and deeper connection. Expect a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your relationship and deepen your emotional connection with your partner. I am committed to helping you build a relationship that is stronger, more fulfilling, and more connected than ever before.

Children & Adolescents

Therapy with children should be an empowering, positive experience that allows parents to learn new, more adaptive ways to relate to their children and themselves. I offer individual treatment for children and adolescents for a range of mental health concerns and life stressors.

Are you having a hard time knowing whether your child's irritable mood is developmental?

Is your child isolating themselves?

Does your teen no longer want to talk with you?

Has your child lost interest in past enjoyable activities?

Does your child resist going to school?

Is your child having difficulty staying organized and efficient with their time?

Has your child's teacher expressed concerns?

Is your child stressed, anxious, and frequently worry?

Do you struggle to cope with your special needs child?

Is your family life being affected by your child's behavior?

Teens go through emotional ups and downs, hormones are changing, and life can seem overwhelming. Even in the best parent-child relationships, teens need a space to talk that is outside of their inner circle.

The most effective, lasting change occurs when parenting support is integrated alongside your child’s treatment. Depending on your child’s age and family needs, I offer tailored approaches, including monthly parenting support sessions. With extensive experience as a School Psychologist in both public and private schools, I also assist parents in navigating the school system, including understanding Accommodation Plans and the special education/IEP process.

Maternal Mental Health

I specialize in supporting women through the transformative journey of pregnancy and postpartum, providing compassionate care for the unique challenges this period can bring. As a certified professional in Perinatal Mental Health: Culturally Informed Approaches to Screening, Assessment, and Treatment, I take a warm, inclusive approach to addressing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and adjustment to motherhood. Whether you're navigating the emotional changes of pregnancy or the complexities of postpartum life, I offer evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
