I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with almost 20 yrs experience in the mental health field who specializes in treating couples and individuals with mood and anxiety disorders. I am Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and have a particular interest in helping parents during the pregnancy and postpartum period and beyond.
I use evidence based, skills based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).
My therapeutic style is interactive, collaborative, non-judgmental, humorous, warm and compassionate. Moving toward what matters to you often involves stepping out of your comfort zone, taking risks, learning new behaviors and different ways of relating to yourself and others. This journey can be anxiety provoking at times but if you stick with it ultimately very rewarding.
In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, and spending time outdoors with my husband and two children.
