Hi there, I'm Evelyn!

I am trained, certified, and specialize in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I work with adults, children, and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, career counseling, and relationships.

My focus

I work with adults, children, and adolescents who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, ADHD, Addiction, Divorce, Infertility, Chronic pain, Career counseling, Relationships/Couples, Parenting, Self-Esteem, Weight Gain/Loss, Substance abuse, and Trauma.

My approach

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Spiritual Therapy.

My communication style

I listen, clarify, and collaborate. I want my clients to feel heard, understood, and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a therapist allows me to fulfill that. It's truly rewarding to aid individuals in discovering meaning and purpose in their lives. Being able to bring a sense of peace, joy, or hope to someone who needs it is incredibly fulfilling for me.

My goals for you

Expect an open and collaborative dialogue. I'll ask various questions to understand your emotions, explore what hasn't worked for you in the past, and identify areas where I can offer effective support. This conversation will help us work together to address your concerns.

Our first session

My client should expect to talk because I will be asking many questions. Asking questions will help me to understand how you are feeling, what has or has not helped in the past, and how I can support you.
