About

I am a clinical therapist who can help you overcome any obstacles that you may be experiencing, strengthen those relationships most important to you, and find the peace, fullness, and happiness that you want and deserve. Currently, my main focus is working with women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, grieving pregnancy loss, in postpartum, or in various stages of motherhood. Additionally, I am also accepting clients who would like a Christian perspective incorporated into therapy or who have an interest in nutritional psychology (how nutrition affects the brain and how deficiencies can manifest in mental health symptoms). I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach and accept every person where they are at in their journey. Using primarily psychodynamic and attachment theories, I aim to discover underlying subconscious motivations, increase clients' awareness of their inner self, and help my clients resolve undesirable patterns that may influence their behavior and relationships. I offer telehealth services during the week in the evenings and some in-person office hours on weekends as well. Please feel free to reach out if you would like a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
