Areas of Expertise:

  • Maternal & Postpartum Mental Health: Specialized support for mothers during pregnancy and parenting, with a strong focus on Postpartum Depression (PPD).

  • Adolescents & Young Adults (Ages 11-25): Helping youth navigate identity, self-esteem, and transition into adulthood.

  • Neurodivergence & Twice-Giftedness: Guiding individuals exploring their neurodivergence or creative giftedness combined with special learning needs.

My Approach:

I draw from a rich array of psychotherapy modalities tailored to your unique needs, including strength-based person-centered care, LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, trauma-informed crisis intervention, somatic and experiential therapies (EMDR in training), and team development.
