*I'm not accepting new clients due to my upcoming maternity leave*
My treatment approach is specifically for new parents and moms in order to help grow and foster healthier emotional health to be passed onto future generations.
My experiences with mental health include personal - oldest child of divorce, encountered a traumatic birth, and parent of a preemie and now mom of a toddler, in addition to clinical - nearly a decade working as a therapist and previously managed mental health clinics in Chicago, IL and Western New York.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques in sessions from modalities such as Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. I'm trained in EMDR as well as certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International.
My goal is create a safe environment for us to work together to explore where you’re feeling stuck, recognize your strengths, identify what behaviors or thoughts are no longer useful to you, and develop various skills to better manage emotions and stressors. I’m here to support you on your journey, wherever you may be!
