Family separations can be extremely stressful and difficult times for both parents and children. Sometimes people need immediate support to cope with the stress of a recent separation, and sometimes people can find they are struggling with emotional distress, conflict, and cycles of poor communication that last for years. If you are dealing with the emotional fallout of a separation, ongoing conflict over living arrangements, parenting time, child support, or other parenting concerns, I can help give you the time and space to think and talk openly about what you want moving forward and help you make a plan for how to get there.

Do you struggle with feelings of never being good enough? Are you living under the shadow of an inner critic that questions or shames your every move?

My aim is to make the therapy process safe and rewarding, while creating a warm, caring environment from the moment you step into my office - remotely or in person.
You might be experiencing distress from trauma or challenging life events or you’re finding it hard to cope. Maybe communication in your relationships has broken down leaving you more alone than connected. Here’s where I can help. I take the time to hear your story, explore the roots of your struggles and how it’s affecting you, and explore how to help you navigate through it. Together, we then create a plan that fits you, to help you regain a sense of hope, balance and vitality in life. Life is too short to be lived in significant distress, and sometimes we need a helping hand.

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse. Initially, I build rapport and a trusting relationship with you. One of our first tasks will involve identifying your values and strengths, and focusing on safety and stability; this is a major component to allowing successful trauma processing and resolution to occur. I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics focused on at my practice are BPD, anger management, self-esteem, and relational issues.
