When your relationship feels disconnected or you're facing a deeply personal transition, it can be hard to know where to turn. You may be coping with conflict, betrayal, body image struggles, or the lasting impact of trauma. I help women and couples navigate emotionally intense experiences—from relationship breakdowns to eating disorders to reproductive challenges—so they can feel grounded, empowered, and ready to move forward. In therapy, I create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood. I work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to untangle the impact of trauma and regain a sense of control.
I specialize in couples therapy, including dating, separation, infidelity, and intimacy concerns. I also support women through fertility issues, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and postpartum changes. For clients with eating disorders, I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to explore beliefs around food, control, and self-worth.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating reproductive struggles, working through disordered eating, or rebuilding trust in a relationship, therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself. Let’s begin when you're ready.
