    My Services

    Over the years, I have worked with many populations and many different issues that clients have brought to therapy. These services listed below have become my passion, and often my specialties, over the years. If you are looking for something similar to what is listed, but maybe not listed as a specialty, please feel free to still reach out. If I am not a good fit, I can try to find you someone who is!

    ADHD Counseling for Adults

    In the last few years, I have found that more and more of my adult women clients have had undiagnosed or untreated ADHD. I have found that when this is untreated, it increased their depression, anxiety and other mental health symptoms. I am currently working on an intense and lengthy training to become a certified specialist in working with these disorders. My goal is to help clients to create more organization and better coping skills and tools to live with, and function at their best, with ADHD. (At this time I do not work with adolescents or children)

    Counseling for New Mothers

    As a mother of two, after having my first child, I started to realizing how amazing, yet difficult, becoming a mother is. I love working with mothers, especially new mothers, in navigating the “hard” of this season and helping them to find balance and time for self-care. Many mothers (about 1 in 5) will be diagnosed with Postpartum Depression (or anxiety, OCD, etc.), but even those that do not meet the criteria for these disorders can struggle and can find therapy helpful and empowering, As a mother and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor, I have helped a lot of clients successfully navigate becoming a mother and becoming a mother through all routes; birth, adoption, foster care, surrogacy and through blended families.

    EMDR

    Do you experience distressing emotions that appear to you, and perhaps to others, to be excessive given the current situation? Do you tend to be highly reactive to certain triggers?

    If so, you may still be a good candidate for EMDR therapy. EMDR is therapy that has been shown to be successful in resolving and healing from a variety of traumas. I have seen EMDR help my clients heal from infertility, birth trauma, childhood trauma, abusive relationships, work trauma and ongoing anxiety and fears just to name a few.

    Postpartum & Motherhood

    The postpartum period has beautiful moments. It also has really challenging moments. It is hard to care for a new human while sleep deprived and navigating your new role. Studies have found that 1 in 5 women will suffer from a Postpartum Mood Disorder and these can present in a variety of ways. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, I know how to help clients navigate this season and help deicide if other interventions may be helpful.  Click below to learn more if you may be dealing with a Postpartum Mood Disorder and how therapy can help.

    Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

    I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.

    I understand the social stigmas that come with the label of being depressed or anxious and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological, and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a difficult and often overwhelming time in their lives.

    Women’s Issues

    Have you lost much of the joy you once felt? Are you feeling lonely in your relationship or in your role as a mother? Do you have years of living with low self-worth or self-esteem?

    Women may experience certain environmental, psychological, and biological challenges related to gender that have a significant impact on their mental health and well-being. If not addressed properly, these challenges can turn into burdens that often lead to anxiety, depression, and a lost sense of self.
