I specialize in treating:
• Anxiety and depression, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. I focus on tools and strategies that help you create a meaningful life in spite of the struggle.
• Trauma (especially birth trauma and sexual abuse). I build deep, long-term therapeutic relationships that help us get to the root of your challenges. I use treatments like Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure to help you move past the places where you've been stuck.
• Parenting. I CAN HELP when your own experiences or mental health make it hard to be the parent you want to be.
• Therapy with very young children (birth-age 6). I use Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a dyadic method that helps caregivers and young children heal together from traumatic events.
• Religious/spiritual trauma. I WILL help you sort through a lifetime of messages that are hard to unlearn and replace them with the belief system you create.
