My Services

  • Perinatal Mental Health

    At Vibrant Therapy, I believe that every parent deserves to feel empowered, connected, and strong as they navigate the major life transition of becoming a parent. With compassion and expertise, I work closely with my clients to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that can arise during infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. My goal is to help clients overcome these challenges and achieve their parenting goals. I do this by providing a supportive and nurturing environment where clients can explore their feelings, learn new coping skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their parenting journey.

  • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

    Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

    Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP is a therapeutic approach commonly used to treat individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders. ERP is a type of cognitive-behavior therapy that focuses on helping patients confront their fears and anxieties in a controlled and systematic manner. The core principle of ERP involves two key components:

    1. Exposure: This element consistent of gradually and repeatedly exposing individuals to distressing thoughts, situations, or triggers that provoke their anxiety. This process is conducted in a safe and supportive environment and follows a hierarchy that begins with less anxiety-provoking situations and progressively moves to more challenging scenarios. The goal is to help individuals learn that they can tolerate anxiety without resorting to compulsive behaviors.

    2. Response Prevention: This component emphasizes the importance of refraining from engaging in compulsive behaviors or rituals that provide temporary relief from anxiety. Encouraging clients to resist these responses during exposure tasks, helps break the cycle of anxiety and compulsive behavior.

  • EMDR & Trauma

    EMDR & Trauma

    I am trained in EMDR through EMDRIA. I am honored to help individuals overcome the lingering shadows of their past, and find liberation from the painful memories that have haunted them for far too long. Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that has revolutionized the treatment of trauma, allowing individuals to confront and reprocess their experiences in unique and transformative ways. Through this innovative approach, I guide clients in addressing and processing the stored memories and emotions associated with traumatic events, slowly releasing the grip of distress and anxiety. With EMDR, we work together to rewire the brain’s response to these memories, allowing individuals to develop a sense of safety, closure, and peace. My goal is to help you break free from the shackles of your past, and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, confidence, and hope for your future.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Through Vibrant therapy, I am committed to empowering individuals to overcome the patterns of negative thinking and behaving that hold them back from living their best lives. Through CBT, we work together to identify and challenge distorted or unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with more balanced and constructive ways of thinking. By examining the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we develop a deeper understanding of how our perceptions shape our experiences and relationships CBT, I help guide clients into developing healthy coping skills, problem-solving strategies, grounding skills, and self-compassion techniques to help them navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.

What Happens When You Reach Out:

  1. First, we can schedule a free 15-minute consultation via email or phone. During this time, we figure out if we are a good fit or not. I will ask questions about what brings you to therapy and what you are looking for in a therapist.

  2. If we decide we are a good fit, we will look at scheduling your first session. This is called an Intake Appointment. I will send you documents over from Simple Practice ahead of time. Please complete the paperwork 24 hours in advance as it provides important information regarding your mental health background and insurance.

  3. During our first session, we will meet so we can learn more about what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your unique treatment plan, the forms you completed, and scheduling moving forward. This is also a great chance to ask me questions regarding the paperwork you filled out and anything else on your mind!
