About My Clients
Everyone’s mental health needs are unique. We will discuss your current concerns and goals, then I'll create a custom treatment plan to best meet your needs that incorporates the latest evidence-based treatment methods. I tend to utilize include the following approaches: Person-Centered, Strengths-Based, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
My Background and Approach
I have a masters in clinical mental health and a doctorate in clinical psychology. With over 14 years of experience and more than a decade as a licensed psychologist, I have been refining the art and science of therapy for a long time! I'm a survivor of infertility, post partum anxiety, pregnancy loss, and traumatic birth and I am honored to help others through these struggles. I have a certification through Postpartum Support International, which requires two years of experience with pregnant and postpartum individuals, numerous hours of advanced training in this area, and passing an exam on the latest research and treatment methods for this population. I am also very passionate about working with issues related to spirituality, such as: religious trauma, deconstructing fundamentalist views, religious doubt or shame, or changes in faith in religious beliefs. I also specialize in life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Sessions are usually a mix of deeply processing thoughts, emotions, patterns and themes to help the client have a greater understanding of self combined with relevant interventions and coping skills. I am an inclusive and affirming person and want all of my clients to feel safe and able to be their authentic self. I offer empathy and validation of emotions, and I am also direct and challenge clients when needed. I believe a good therapist should push clients out of their comfort zone, in a warm and compassionate way, so clients can achieve the growth and change they desire. I want to provide you with the information, tools, and support to help you move forward towards a new beginning.
