Anxiety, worry, and stress are universal experiences. In fact, these emotions are necessary at times and have contributed to the survival of the human race (running away from a lion requires some degree of anxiety, after all!). However, when these emotions disrupt our lives and no longer serve our best interest, it may be time to consider finding help to develop ways of managing stress. I utilize different therapy modalities, based on the needs of the client. This may include aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge negative thought patterns or Polyvagal Theory to improve emotional regulation.

While I don’t see couples in my practice, I enjoy working with individuals regarding relationship issues, like attachment styles and how they impact relationships, learning to set boundaries and express needs in kind, assertive ways, and managing the difficulty of when relationships end. Incorporating discussions of attachment, and even love languages, is one approach I use in the context of relationships. I don’t believe we’re stuck in any one attachment style and can be fluid as long as we’re willing to do the work. That may include increasing our self awareness and implementing different styles of communication.

A strong emphasis of my work is in the area of adjustment challenges. I'm passionate about working with young adults who would benefit from guidance in navigating decisions that often come up in this stage of life, such as college and career decisions. I have also worked with a variety of adults who have dealt with transitions such as grief/loss, divorce, retirement, moving, and/or becoming parents. Change is hard and we don’t always want to take the leap. Motivational Interviewing is a useful technique when we’re addressing change. This is a collaborative approach between the client and therapist to explore motivation for change, or lack thereof, and increase commitment to reaching your goals by finding out what motivates you and why you want (or don’t want) to make this transition.

In October 2022 I received my certification in perinatal mental health through Postpartum International. I realized my passion for perinatal mental health when I became a mother. My goal is to normalize the experience of transitioning into parenthood (whether it’s the 1st time or the 4th time) because it can be challenging, maybe even scary, at times. In January 2023 I was certified in Interpersonal Therapy, which is an evidenced based approach that is proven successful for treating the perinatal population. This type of therapy focuses on interpersonal relationships, role transitions, and identifying the support you need to manage stressors.
