 ello and welcome to my practice. The fact that you have found yourself on this website likely means you are looking to get the help
you need to make changes in your life. Finding the right therapist can
be difficult, especially with so many to choose from. While there are
many different therapeutic approaches, the most important and effective quality you should look for in a therapist is someone that you feel
comfortable with.
The approach I take to my therapeutic work is based on building a collaborative relationship with each of my clients; accepting your need for comfort, understanding, and guidance, while equally challenging you and encouraging independence. I bring a mindfulness and thought-provoking approach to my psychotherapy practice, emphasizing an open, accepting, and non-judgmental awareness of oneself in the moment. By bringing awareness and compassion to your thoughts and feelings, you are able to deepen your understanding of yourself which can allow you to think differently and create more meaningful relationships in the world.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of a diverse practice, working
with a variety of mood disorders, trauma, and behaviors in men, women, adolescents, and families; however I have a particular expertise and investment in working with women’s issues. I am passionate and dedicated to advocating for the health and well-being of women and the particular struggles of self-acceptance through the various roles and transitions in a woman’s life, from preadolescence through motherhood.
I encourage you to explore this website, the services I offer, and my professional background to see if I might be the right therapist for you.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment
please feel free to call or email me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I specialize in working with young girls and women and the particular challenges that they face throughout the various transitions of their life, focusing on eating disorders, body image, self-esteem, peri and postnatal mood changes, and the transition into motherhood. |
