No one should have to feel alone or unsupported during life's difficulties. Many of my clients come to therapy because they are experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. These difficulties are often related to their relationships, identity struggles, trauma, or major life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals who feel overwhelmed/stuck, and/or disconnected from themselves, peers, or significant others, in order to help them regain confidence and connection. Additionally, I often work with couples (engaged/dating/married) who are distressed and struggling to connect, communicate, and find peace in their relationships.

If you've ever watched a film like Ladybird and thought "that's just like me and my parent", you've come to the right place! Our relationships impact how we see ourselves and the world, which can play a role in our mental health. Through an affirming approach, I focus on helping individuals explore their various identities (racial, gender, romantic, etc.) and examine how relationships with their family of origin can play a role in these identities and overall life experiences. I also help clients process the curveballs thrown at us otherwise known as life transitions.

As a certified EFT therapist, I specialize in working with couples who have trouble communicating, resolving conflict, or restoring breaches of trust. Sometimes we feel as though our partner is speaking a different language and attempts at connection only leave us feeling more alone. When we lose faith in our partner's ability to meet our needs, we tend to respond by fighting to restore a felt sense of connection or by backing off and avoiding conflict to preserve whatever connection may be left. We might feel that our partner doesn't care for us or that we've somehow failed our partners and that we may never get it right.
