Services
I take a special interest in maternal mental health, specifically fertility challenges and loss. I also see individuals in my office for the following:
- Adjustment to illness
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Telehealth / video sessions are available as appropriate. Please note not all insurance covers telehealth sessions.
My Treatment focus
I specialize in the treatment of adults and older teens suffering from anxiety and dealing with issues of grief and loss. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy and EMDR, two evidence based treatments used in the management of symptoms of PTSD and trauma, as well as other distressing life events. With an increased focus on attachment wounds, I can also help with distress in everyday circumstances using a developmental needs based intervention called DNMS.
My Goal
I value self-determination above all else in the work that I do. I believe that change comes most readily when the person making the change is motivated internally, rather than when an external motivation is imposed on them by others. Of course, life does not always work that way, but the pain that comes from the recognition that a change is needed is where I can help.
About Me
I have over 15 years experience working in various community service settings including Substance Abuse Treatment in outpatient settings and as a medical social worker for local hospitals. All of my experiences have contributed to the values and skills I use in my day to day practice with clients. I look forward to helping people and am most energized by those who are ready to walk toward an improved sense of self.
