Anxiety
Anxiety can have an immense impact on one's life. Anxiety is more than just a passing feeling of worry. It can be overwhelming and all-consuming. Anxiety can look like overthinking, constantly spiraling into worst-case scenarios, panic, and difficulty making decisions. It can interfere in relationships, work, and overall well-being. I can help you understand your anxiety and learn tools and strategies to manage it, so that you can gain a sense of inner peace and clarity.
Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's like an invisible weight, making every day feel like a struggle. Depression can leave you feeling trapped inside your own mind, making it hard to express the depth of your pain. Therapy is a safe place where your emotions can finally find a voice. I provide a supportive environment where you can unburden yourself, gain insights, and develop coping strategies. Together, we will work towards lifting the weight of depression, helping you rediscover hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.
Trauma
Whether you are in pain from overwhelming childhood experiences in which your needs were unmet, or you are suffering from a more recent traumatic event, I use a trauma-informed approach to guide you towards healing. I provide a safe space filled with compassion and patience, so that you can share your experience and rebuild your sense of self.
Maternal Mental Health
The process of becoming a parent can come with many feelings, joys, and challenges. Therapy focused on perinatal mental health can offer immense support during this transformative period. This may include support with:
-Perinatal loss and grief
-Perinatal depression and anxiety
-Infertility and alternative pathways to motherhood
-Adjustment to motherhood
Internal Family Systems/Parts Work
I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is a model that understands the mind as having multiple parts. You might have a part that worries, a part that works hard to please others, a part that criticizes you. At times we lead from these parts which can be troublesome. The IFS model also understands that at our core, we also have a wise and grounded Self that can and should lead our internal system.
The IFS approach allows you to take a look inside of yourself and get to know your different parts, understanding how and why they have taken a role to protect you. You learn how to relate to your parts in a healing way, and restore balance in your internal system. When your inner parts and Self work together you experience healing in your inner world and in your outside world in your relationships.
Every person has the inner resources they need to be able to heal and lead their lives from a place of confidence, calm, clarity, compassion, and curiosity.
Phone Consultations
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for prospective clients, prior to scheduling an appointment. During the phone call I can get a sense about what you are experiencing, and you can learn more about my practice.
Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider. Most clients have a portion of their therapy expenses reimbursed by insurance through out-of-network benefits. To see if this is an option for you, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly at the phone number listed on the back of your card.
The following questions may be helpful in understanding your benefits:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my deductible amount and has it been met this year?
How much does my plan cover for mental health services provided by an out-of-network provider?
I provide statements for my clients to submit for reimbursement.
