Most of us carry protective patterns - working too hard, staying small, or holding tight to control - that keep us safe but can leave us stuck. Therapy invites the parts of you that have been working so hard to soften and be understood. I believe that the edge of discomfort is often where real healing and transformation begin, and I offer warm and grounded guidance as you explore those edges. I specialize in working with women and teen girls who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism and relationship issues.

Do you feel like life is always overwhelming? Do you feel alone? Are you using distractions (substances, food, devices) to soothe yourself which is causing more suffering instead of bringing relief? Our culture today pushes for faster, better, stronger which can be painful. It leads to patterns and behaviors that cut us off from experiencing freedom, joy and ease. I work with teenagers and adults who have found that their "old ways" are more causing more suffering than comfort and they are ready to open to something new.

Your relationship is stressed or you're looking for one, you're restless in your career or you're searching for meaning.

My practice is increasingly focused on working with dynamics of estrangement between family members. These estrangements include parents and adult children, as well as adult sibling estrangement. When families are young, children and parents often form very close, bonded, loving relationships. As children mature, and eventually leave home, families can wind up struggling to grow in order to continue satisfying relationships. Adult siblings also find maintaining loving relationships can be challenging. Working together in family therapy can help improve communication, address concerns and heal wounds and misunderstandings.
