About

My Practice

I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders that result from unmanaged daily stress and/or unsolved problems from the past. I also have extensive experience supporting pregnant women and their partners with the challenges of new parenthood. I use cutting-edge knowledge from neuroscience and mindfulness research to create an individualized emotional wellness plan that can help you manage stress better and regulate your emotions using healthy strategies. Translating current research into practical tools gives you effective ways to manage symptoms, improve mood, enhance relationships, and ultimately live a well-balanced and satisfying life, your envisioned life. I use a holistic approach to mental wellness, one that honors individual differences while supporting the person's innate resilience and strengths.
