Specialties & Issues

In addition to being a licensed mental health clinician, I am an Integrative Health Coach and Functional Nutrition Practitioner. I draw upon many methods for healing and change, depending on the client including mindfulness, CBT, ACT, narrative therapy, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, and EFT. I have worked with women and children for more than 20 years, especially around trauma as well as post-partum challenges. I also specialize in chronic health issues including Lyme disease.

Approach

I work holistically with clients who are ready for relief beyond the usual options of talk therapy and prescription medication. My integrative approach brings in talk therapy, mindfulness, and nutrition to identify root causes for mental health symptoms and remove barriers to wellness and client goals.

Insurance

I don't bill insurance. I do provide a superbill for clients who want to pursue reimbursement for out of network care.
