I provide supportive eclectic psychotherapy for Young Adults, Adults, and Couples across the country with a distinct focus on the psychological and relational challenges that emerge during the parenting years, midlife and later adulthood. Areas such as later-life recognition of ADHD and neurodivergence and how this can strain relationships. Therapy may focus on understanding long-standing patterns through a new lens, addressing grief for missed recognition or support, strengthening family bonds that have strained due to impact of neurodivergence on relating, work, identity and daily life.
Specialty areas include Major life transitions, post partum parenting, grandparenting caregiver stress, changing family roles, relationship difficulties, and parenting. Separation Rebuilding, Identity shifts, Midlife, Later-Life transitions, Caregiver burnout , and the emotional impact of caring for aging paents, partners, or adult family members.
Connect with me if you seek someone who understands the complexities and patterns that have shaped their lives, respond to current challenges with greater clarity and establish sustainable boundaries, and move toward the next stage of life with greater confidence and intention.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, attachment trauma, anxiety and how these things can contribute to struggling with life's challenges. Initially we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. The work is intentional and can be difficult, yet rewarding.
