I’ve helped countless women like you create positive, meaningful relationships built on trust and respect.
You can’t believe it happened again. After repeated assurances to your loved one, changing habits in your daily life, and promising yourself you’d be better, here you are. You sit across from your them, crying, pleading with them to forgive you after this latest outburst. The look of hurt on their face is soul-crushing. Even once they accept your apology, the guilt doesn’t subside – if anything, it gets worse. You love this person so much, but you’re not sure your relationship can handle another blow like this. You wish you had some control over your emotions, and fear it’s only a matter of time before this happens again.

We all deserve to feel seen and accepted for who we are. The right therapeutic relationship can foster the space to explore the depths of our inner worlds in order to move towards healing and self-acceptance. There are many reasons to seek therapy, including the search for belonging, fulfillment, or a deeper connection to self and others. I support people through life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, career and identity struggles, recovery from trauma and PTSD, substance use, codependency, injury and chronic pain, and low self-esteem.

I work with individuals and couples. With my background in law and my passion for mental health, I help lawyers and busy professionals navigate relationship issues, overcome burnout, and tackle work-related stress head-on. Maybe it’s the pressure-cooker environment at work, where deadlines loom like storm clouds. Or perhaps it’s the all-too-familiar dance of miscommunication and misunderstandings in your relationship, leaving you both feeling like you're stuck in a tango with two left feet. I can help you tap into your inner strength, set boundaries, and confidently navigate life’s twists and turns.
