Other areas of specialty include relationship issues, anger management difficulties, and infertility-related problems.
I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and evidence-based process, and I value working as a team with my clients to help them make meaningful changes in their lives. To do this, I use the best available research to develop integrative, empirically-supported treatment plans to address their concerns and help them move toward their identified goals. Throughout treatment, I value working with clients in a way that is interactive and transparent, and I create a therapeutic environment that is genuinely supportive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental.

Beneath your fights about dishes are valid needs that deserve to be heard, seen, and valued. Let's get you more connection and less tension in the relationship. I also work with individuals navigating recovery from high-control childhoods and romantic relationships, including religious trauma and loved ones with personality disorders like BPD. Let's explore who YOU are and what you authentically want outside those institutions and relationships. Attachment work, grief, identity processing, and trauma are uncomfortable parts of the human experience. We'll work together to see how they show up in your life. You deserve more peace.

Finding peace and a sense of purpose is more difficult when you're bombarded with messages from the outside world about who you are supposed to be. One goal of therapy is to have more compassion for yourself which gives you the opportunity to experience more peace inside. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief, LGBT issues, relationship issues, adult children of personality disordered parents and women's issues across the lifespan, especially surrounding menopause. I also enjoy and welcome working with men in my practice. My clinical interests surround how our thoughts and bodies are connected.

Infertility Therapists
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
