Does your anxiety take over at the worst possible moments of your day? Do you feel like you try harder and harder to change unhelpful habits but don’t seem to follow through on? Getting stuck in this cycle is exhausting, feels shameful, and depleting. What if you were to try different and not harder? My goal is to help people manage difficult experiences before it leads them to flake on friends, use substances, or have conflict in relationships. I work with adults and young adults to empower themselves to deal with life on life's terms.
We offer groups for women experiencing anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy. BBB’s group model is all about bringing together women who are experiencing symptoms of perinatal depression and/or anxiety. Because our groups are closed—no one joins after the first week—members can develop trust in one another and in the group facilitators. Our goal is to create a safe and caring space that allows participants to connect with each other and regain their sense of well being. All of our groups are online and free of charge.

Did you know that most couples, and many single women and men, have questions about whether or not having children is the right choice for them? Even more couples have a lot of questions about what being a parent would look like and how it might affect their relationship. Some people wonder how their experiences growing up might influence parenting a child. Many people also wonder what their child free lives with their partners would look like. Two groups, which are part of a research study, are available: one for couples and one for single women struggling with these questions.

While I enjoy treating a diverse group of clients coping with a broad spectrum of issues, I have extensive experience counseling adults and couples in the family system.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that each individual has the capacity to affect change in his/her life. I also believe in my responsibility to actively engage with my client and facilitate their movement through their issues and feelings. Different theoretical interventions may be more facilitative depending on one's particular needs, one's background, one's view of the world, and one's capacity for insight. As a therapist, I truly consider the individual as a whole and attempt to utilize the most effective tool to facilitate progress towards independent wellness given the particular needs and challenges of my client.
Would you like to: Be kinder to yourself or others? Decrease depression and/or anxiety? Understand and change the role you play in your relationships? Increase self-confidence? This group uses psychodrama and action methods to express feelings safely, explore and challenge distorted thoughts, strengthen interpersonal relationships, practice new behaviors, and try on new roles. Psychodrama is an expressive arts therapy using guided dramatic action to create meaningful change. It allows patients to go deeper than traditional talk therapy. New Cycle starts August 2024.

For adults who are divorced or separated, I offer co-parenting therapy.
Therapy is the practice of finding opportunities for growth, while identifying the circumstances we can alter and finding peace with those we cannot. I use a systemic approach to help clients integrate their past experiences and relationships with where they are currently, in order to help them move forward with greater intention and well-being. This can be done through verbal expression, creative arts, play, movement, and writing. My approach is compassionate, curious, creative, affirming, and strength-based. I prioritize the therapist-client relationship in order to foster trust and safety, and help support change.
This is an online training group for therapists interested in group dynamics includes discussion of cases and other professional issues, as well as experiential learning based on the psychodynamic processes that occur within the group. A group practice is not required to join. Please contact me for more information.
Among my interests are emerging adults; life transitions; parenting, divorce and blended families; experience of 1st generation Americans; mood disorders; trauma; and self-injury.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone in their struggles and more understood, as they work on what they wish to change in their lives and relationships. I believe that what has happened in our past shapes who we are today, and I help the people I work with explore the influence of the past in order to create a more fulfilling present. Within the therapeutic relationship, clients can practice and integrate more balanced ways to express themselves and connect with others. I integrate ideas and practices from relational psychodynamic, interpersonal, and modern psychoanalytic orientations.
