THERAPY

Hello! I am so happy you are here. I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about me. Should you feel we could be a good fit, I will look forward to eventually learning more about you, too! I strive to hold a safe space to facilitate human connection, for clients to feel both seen and heard through my commitment to empathic, active listening. While I have experience working with a variety of presenting concerns (Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar, etc), I especially appreciate working with perinatal clients. I strongly stand behind the fact that support during this transitional time is hugely significant and I am grateful for whenever I have the opportunity to assist families with this challenging but beautiful life shift. I have over three years of experience providing psychotherapy treatment to clients who have struggled with perinatal mood/anxiety disorders. 

I value the importance of healthy attachment styles in relationships. I have a master's level specialization in Infant Mental Health, which focuses on attachment theory, and I firmly believe in the work. My hope is to help families navigate these dynamics with their children, as well as to educate adults on the topic of attachment relationships and some of the difficulties that can come with certain familial dynamics.

Aside from the approaches to care I noted above, I often utilize a strengths-based approach, solution-focused approach, motivational interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices. I have experience working with diverse communities amongst both adult and pediatric populations and look forward to continuing my practice tending to a wide range of clients. I am committed to ensuring that patients' individual stories feel held in the therapeutic space I facilitate, as I empower you on your journey towards greater wellness. Thank you again for taking the time to browse the website and to read about my background as a provider. I look forward to hearing from you and am excited about the potential of working together out of Midwest Behavioral Health Treatment Center.
