My Approach to Helping

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, looking at the unique needs of each person. As a therapist and a person living in this world, I believe that there is always a chance at a silver lining to every challenge that we face. I feel that everyone is worthy of a happy and healthy life. I am here if you are unsure of what you may be going through, and know that not every person fits in a box; sometimes we may just need a little guidance. I am always looking to expand my skills as a therapist and will do the work to find the best interventions for you.

I have specialized training in treating perinatal mental health. I have years of experience working with pregnant and postpartum women and have a special passion for it. I specialize in postpartum anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsion (OCD), and psychosis. Being a parent is incredibly rewarding, but it can come with its challenges. I am here as a warm presence to help navigate this time period.

I also have years of experience in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autism, substance use, and recovery, as well! I know that we all don't fit into one box, which is why I am here to navigate all that life may bring. My therapeutic interventions include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and attachment work.

I am here as a guide and resource to help you find a sense of clarity in your life. My style as a therapist comes from a place of empathy and understanding. I really want to take the time to get to know you, as this is what helps me to find the best possible tools to help. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Desert Mood was inspired by the little things the desert can teach us. Through great pain, we can find the silver lining and grow just like the flowers in the desert. At Desert Mood, we specialize in treating all types of mood conditions. Specifically, perinatal, bipolar, depression, and anxiety.
