I have extensive experience in

systems, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapies.
It is my firm belief that people do their best with the situations life hands them. My goal as a therapist is to help people work through their stuck places, let go of old behaviors that helped them survive in the past but are no longer useful, and learn new behaviors that will contribute to greater enjoyment and connection in their lives. I see myself as an active guide in this process, and I am enriched by seeing people learn to accept themselves and others, and thus live the fullest and most satisfying life possible.

I have experienced marriage, divorce, blended
family
and co-parenting.
My training is primarily in healing couples by looking at the repeated patterns that get in the way of safe intimate connection. We all have responses that are were wonderfully helpful in the past but are less successful at getting what we want now. My aim is to help you let go of what is causing distress and develop ways of interacting that create happiness and health. I also work with individuals and provide EMDR if deemed appropriate. Mindfulness, to self regulate, is central to my work.

We understand what it’s like to work in a high-pressure environment while managing a personal and
family
life.
You’re considered to be quite successful in many areas of your life. Even though you know this is true, you don’t feel like you’re doing well at the moment. You’re smart, capable, and usually able to solve your problems, but trying to “fix” your emotional struggles just hasn’t worked. The demands of your work and personal life feel like they're just too much for you to handle right now. Your relationship with your partner might be a struggle. You may feel burned out.

However, I also use methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Family
-Based Treatment (FBT), Intuitive Eating, Self-Compassion, and more.
When we or someone we love is hurting, it can feel scary to think about reaching out for help. Maybe you've tried (perhaps for years) to feel better, and you’re still struggling. It can be hard to find a therapist you connect with who also has the skills to help you. I want you to know that there is hope, and that change is possible. I’m here to listen to you, understand your struggles and strengths, and to help you create a path forward, with clear steps toward a life you can thrive in.
