My approach to psychotherapy is based on a relational model. I have found this model to be necessary for permanent change. How people relate to others is formed in the relationship patterns they experienced as a child. We spend years learning how to behave in certain ways, and it can take some time and effort to learn new ways to interact with others. Further, for lasting change, we must experience new ways of interacting with others; in short, a therapist. If you have questions about how my approach to therapy might be helpful to you, please contact me. Thanks.

Depending on the day (or the moment), it all leaves you feeling anxious, resentful, or hopeless.
During my 20+ years as a therapist, I’ve come to see that the key to successful therapy is meeting my clients where they are & adapting the strategies I use to fit them. While the actual path looks different for everyone I work with, the destination is the same: a life where you stop adapting or pretending and start living in a way that actually fits you.

I love working with women who are hard on themselves, feel anxious, and are used to putting their own needs last.
You can have your best life in your fifties, sixties and beyond. I've been a therapist for over 3 decades and I've raised 4 children. I know how it feels to be exhausted, lonely and sad in life and relationships. You don't have to feel this way; you can have the connection and freedom you crave.

I help people navigate the tender places of being human — healing from trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression while exploring identity, relationships, and belonging.
I believe healing happens in the space between shadow and light. Many of us carry untold stories, unspoken griefs, and fractured parts of self that long to be seen. My work as a therapist is to help you find language for what feels ineffable, to hold paradox without judgment, and to accompany you on the path from pain into possibility. Clients often describe me as both deeply attuned and unafraid to step into hard places with them. I see therapy as a sacred container — one where we can weave together resilience, grief, identity, and hope in ways that honor both your wounds and your wisdom.

Women are faced with many unique challenges, which may lead us to feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, lost or stuck.
I also particularly enjoy working with parents and college/graduate students around complex topics related to life transitions, decision making, stress management, relationship dynamics and self identity.

Do you and your partner feel more like roommates or co-parents than romantic partners since having a baby? If conversations revolve around schedules, feedings, and who’s doing what—while closeness, ease, and emotional connection feel harder to access—you’re not alone. Becoming parents can deeply shake even the strongest relationships, leaving many couples feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unsure how to find their way back to one another. Therapy can help you make sense of this shift, feel less alone in it, and gently work toward reconnecting as partners again—not just teammates getting through the day.

Hi! Are you a 20-something struggling in your relationships, a mom who can't even spell burnout, or a teen struggling to bridge the gap between who you've been told you are and who you feel you are? Good news, you've come to the right place. I’m an LMFT who works with teens, moms, and people trying to make sense of their relationships with others and themselves. Therapy with me is warm, trauma-informed, and human. We’ll talk about the hard stuff, laugh when it helps, and leave the clinical jargon at the door. You don’t need to have the right words or a perfectly organized story—just show up as you are. We’ll figure it out together:)
