I specialize in helping adults feel more connected in family and love relationships. You may be a parent struggling with irritability and boundaries, a married person feeling resentful or overwhelmed by conflict with your partner, or someone feeling burdened by guilt or expectations in extended family relationships. These kinds of struggles can create feelings of isolation and loneliness, or the sense that you've developed a short fuse alternating with feelings of hopelessness. Problems in important relationships can lead to an impaired sense of self-worth, overwhelming guilt and shame, or a hypercritical inner voice.

The decision to pursue counseling is an extremely important and personal one. And, finding the right therapist is a crucial part of the process. I have been practicing in the field over 25 years and have worked in a variety of settings with adults and adolescents. In addition to having extensive experience in helping those who have suffered grief and loss, I am particularly skilled at working with highly sensitive individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, developmental issues, and identifying, understanding, and changing repetitive patterns that do not serve them.

Anxiety or depression can result from a variety of events, such as job or academic stress, rocky relationships, illness or loss. Many initially come to therapy while facing a significant lifestyle change, a major adjustment, or a difficult situation with inadequate support. They've found themselves alone, suffering or dissatisfied in at least one major area of their lives. Through a solution-focused approach, and with a supportive and empathic style, I have helped my clients find or regain the skills needed to achieve a sense of improved well-being. This has occurred through either short or longer term work.

You’re a woman who is highly self-aware, but understanding your patterns and triggers alone isn’t making you feel any better. You’re still overthinking. You still feel highly anxious. You get overwhelmed easily—and perhaps keep finding yourself in the same relationship dynamics. You want a therapy experience that gives you space to talk through everything that’s going on, while also helping you actually feel lighter inside. If this sounds like you, you’ve landed in the right place.

I have a particular soft spot for working with artists and young women making sense of a problematic upbringing or overcoming shame. Using EMDR training, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy and Expressive Arts, we find pain points then bring more ease there. To decrease anxiety and depression after a crisis, trauma, or transition, I use relational, present moment awareness to process early abuse, major life transitions, and grief, accessing healing, confidence, and agency. I welcome LGBTQIA+ & neurodivergent folks, couples, teens, and anyone just feeling lost.

My approach to therapy is to empower the clients I work with through their self-discovery journey.

As a cognitive behavior diplomat, I use cognitive and behavioral strategies to help clients identify the roots of their problems and find solutions that help them in between sessions.
