Services I Offer
Psychoanalytic Therapy
If you’re looking for an in depth comprehensive understanding of your struggles, then psychoanalytic psychotherapy may be helpful to you. We will look beyond symptoms to the layers and source of your discontentment.
As humans, we are wired for connection. The bonds we develop in our early relationships profoundly shape our views of ourselves, others and what to expect in the world. In our work together, we will carefully look at these beliefs and how they may be living out in your life now.
Parenting
My doctoral work was focused on parenting during the early developmental years. Parenting is particularly overwhelming and exhausting. I want to help you be the parent you want to be for your child(ren). I focus on helping you uncover what is beneath your own and your child's behavior so you can move towards the positive interactions you desire.
“Parents and children help each other to grow. In raising their children, parents are also raising themselves. Child rearing gives parents the chance to redo their own childhood and to improve on it.” - Alicia Lieberman
Maternal Mental Health
I enjoy empowering soon-to-be and new parents.
Many mothers struggle after their baby is born and find it difficult to talk about it due to embarrassment. Around 20% of women experience significant anxiety and depression during the postpartum time. If you are overwhelmed and feeling lost in motherhood experiencing any of the following, you are not alone.
•Loneliness •Anger/Irritability •Continuous Sadness •Loss of Enjoyment •Fears About Baby •Bonding Struggles With Baby •Birth Trauma/Complications •Transition to Motherhood •Extremely Stressed •Obsessions/Compulsions
Pregnancy and the journey to growing your family may have been more challenging than you ever anticipated. Maybe you have experienced a pregnancy loss. The path to parenthood filled with unexpected outcomes can be devastating. I want to hear what you have gone through.
Child Therapy
Is your child stressed, anxious, sad or feeling lost? I provide therapy for children birth through adolescence. Children express their emotions often quite differently than we do as adults. Their negative behaviors may be one of the ways they are communicating their need for our help. I utilize a variety of methods to connect with your child and help them work through their big emotions and develop skills to problem solve.
Spiritual Direction & Retreats
In spiritual direction, I listen carefully with you to your desires for spiritual growth. This may involve looking into the history of your faith journey and various stages of growth and change you have experienced and may be in now. I walk tenderly and attentively with you, to meet you where you are. We can work together to explore possible practices and spiritual disciplines that may deepen your connection with God.
I have a Master's in Spiritual Formation & Soul Care. In addition, I completed the 3-year Ignatian Spiritual Formation Program at the Loyola Institute for Spirituality and I am a teacher and facilitator of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. My education and experience also includes Mindfulness practices.
I offer consultation for Psychotherapists interested in deepening the integration of psychology and spirituality in their personal and professional work.
I also develop and facilitate retreats.
