Taking the first step to get help can be tough, and I know it might feel like a big leap. We’re often our own hardest critics, but I believe you already have strengths and skills; sometimes it just takes the right support to see them. You deserve to feel in control of your life again and work toward the version of yourself you want to be. No matter what brought you here, I’m ready to support you through it. Let’s take that next step together. Schedule a free consultation with me and we’ll start figuring things out at a pace that works for you.

Life is dynamic and ever changing. Trying to find and keep balance is an ongoing challenge. And many times our past and our desires for the future don't connect in the present. I offer a supportive, caring environment in which to explore life's meanings, challenges and opportunities. From existential concerns to pragmatics in daily living, I offer a time and a space to safely address past issues needing to heal, and a place to explore and expand one's strengths.

Living with ADHD isn’t about trying harder—it’s about learning how to work with your brain, not against it. As an experienced neurodivergent therapist, I help adults and parents of ADHD children move from frustration and overwhelm to clarity and confidence. Together, we uncover what’s fueling the chaos, strengthen focus, organization, and self-trust, and replace shame with understanding. Therapy becomes a supportive space to learn new strategies, regulate emotions, and thrive in everyday life.

I truly love working with parents. Whether you're experiencing tantrums from toddlers or teenagers, parenting through difficult stages can bring out the best and the worst in each of us. I bring my years as a teacher, foster parent, play therapist, and mother to walk along side you through whatever comes your way. Drawing from an attachment perspective, I work with parents to uncover current, past, and generational traumas to get to the roots of unhelpful coping patterns which may be impacting parenting decisions and outcomes.

If you’re a woman who seems to have it all together but feels overwhelmed on the inside, you may be struggling with anxiety, high-functioning depression, or ADHD. You push through daily life while carrying the weight of relationships, attachment struggles, and self-criticism. You might be an overachiever, whether in school or your career constantly giving to others while feeling disconnected from yourself. If you’re exhausted from holding it all together, therapy can help you ease the pressure, understand your emotions, and find healthier ways to cope.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

Events like job changes, divorce, death and loss, or shifts in values create opportunities to reframe who we are and where we're going.
Life often presents us with situations that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to move through them. Whether it's a loss of a loved one, transitions that cause us to rethink who we are and what we want, or events in which we've been harmed or mistreated - sometimes we all just need a space to explore our thoughts and feelings so that we can gain the confidence to move forward.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
