Specialties

Anxiety - Grappling with constant worry, a sense of unease in social situations, or experiencing panic attacks. I provide tools and strategies to manage anxiety, helping clients understand and mitigate these overwhelming feelings. Together, we work on identifying triggers and developing coping mechanisms to regain a sense of control and calm.

Couples counseling - Couples may be facing challenges or transitions, stuck in cycles of destructive conflict, feeling a disconnect in communication or a loss of intimacy. My approach is to create a space for open, honest dialogue, helping couples understand each other's perspectives, rebuild trust, and rekindle connection. We focus on enhancing communication skills and deepening emotional understanding.

Parenting - Helping parents understand their own internal triggers and manage their reactivity so they can show up for their child in a way that's aligned with their values. We create a framework for understanding your child's behavior and from there, develop and implement strategies to address challenges that arise throughout childrearing; managing stress and increasing support while deepening your connection with your child.

Pregnancy, perinatal, postpartum mental health - Addressing issues specific to women and families during the pregnancy and postpartum period, including coping with postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD and rage + adjusting to changes in family dynamics, and managing emotional wellness during this critical period. The focus is on providing support, understanding, and practical strategies to navigate this transformative phase.

Relationship issues - Individuals struggling in their relationships may be unclear about their needs and desires or find themselves repeating unhelpful patterns. Therapy offers a space to explore these dynamics, understand personal relationship needs, and work towards more fulfilling interactions. We focus on enhancing self-awareness and communication skills to improve overall relationship satisfaction.

Transition to new parenthood - New parents often experience a range of emotions as they adjust to their new roles. In therapy, we address the challenges of this transition, from shifts in identity to relationship dynamics with a partner. Support is provided to navigate these changes, ensuring parents feel equipped and confident in their new journey.
