Are you feeling stuck? When you’re depressed, anxious or overwhelmed, it feels that life is always difficult. Taking the time to work through challenges in therapy improve your life in ways you never imagined. I am a therapist who helps clients manage anxiety and break through depression. I also work with couples to help them communicate and parent more effectively. My style is warm and nonjudgmental, and I work collaboratively with a wide range of clients. Using insight-oriented psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques, I will help you find a way to stop feeling stuck and move forward.
I have personal and professional experience working through depression and anxiety. I help clients examine thoughts that are holding them back, and learn new ways to cope with anxious feelings. I work collaboratively with medical professionals for clients taking antidepressant medication, and help clients find alternatives to medication when they choose to do so.
I’m also a parent of three children. I enjoying working with single parents and couples who are learning to establish boundaries and parent effectively. Sometimes improving parents’ self-care is as important to the well-being of the family as improving parenting skills.
Other areas I address as a therapist include grief and loss, chronic pain, life transitions and postpartum stress. I lead a postpartum depression support group called the Postpartum Emotional Recovery Circle, which meets at my office in Lafayette.
