Transitions are a part of life; but that doesn't mean they can't be quite a lot to handle! I specialize in helping individuals cope with transitional phases, whether that means adjusting to new environments and cultures, adjusting to changes that come with age, adjusting to a new school or job, or even adjusting to life with an acquired disability. Every individual at some point in their lives goes through an adjustment, and although many are perfectly poised to handle it well on their own, it never hurts to have some help during these difficult times.

My treatment approach is collaborative working with clients to discover the most helpful ways to talk about and solve their problems. I employ a Narrative and Solution Focus approach where the client is the expert on their experiences and my role is to guide through questions, suggestions and specific practices. The goal is to support you as you reconnect to your values, skills and preferences in life including people you consider family and community. We will decide if individual, couples or family therapy is best for you. You can invite others to treatment. I also collaborate with other professionals to support you and your family.

Relationships are incredibly complicated, and relationship issues can have profound impact on your quality of life. Anxiety and depression may be the result of unhealthy relationship dynamics, or may be caused by typical stressors such as financial problems or disagreements about raising children. If you are having difficulties in your current relationship, or if you are trying to understand past relationship struggles, I am qualified to help you. I work with couples and individuals engaging in high conflict, affairs, issues of past trauma, parenting, depression, anxiety, substance addiction, divorce, or criminal concerns.

Hello and Welcome. I have over a decade of practice in individual, adolescent, and couples therapy. I specialize in treating mood or anxiety difficulties, trauma, childhood trauma, relational difficulties, life stressors, or life and identity transitions. My passion is to help you live authentically- experiencing relief, resilience, self-compassion, and increased emotional freedom. We often learn strategies through life to keep us safe, but those strategies may hold us back in our present. It is in our relationships that we learned these strategies; it is through a therapeutic relationship that we re-learn, re-parent, and heal.

Life is hard. Sometimes, life can seem unbearable, especially when difficult events like trauma, loss, or relationship conflicts happen and lead to depression and anxiety. During difficult times, you may believe that you have no choice but to suffer in secret, especially with the continuing stigma of mental health issues. However, I want you to know that you don't have to suffer on your own. Seeking therapy can be a daunting and scary process, and finding the right psychologist for you can be difficult and confusing.

Healing and change are possible, even when it feels like nothing works. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming. Some are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or past relational pain—including dysfunctional relationship patterns—while others are moving through life and women’s transitions, parenting, and shifting roles that can bring exhaustion, guilt, or a sense of losing oneself. You want to feel understood, regain clarity, and reconnect with what truly matters—without trying to “fix” yourself.

Our story affects the way we define our identities and give meaning to our lives. Sometimes our stories become a barrier to living our lives to the fullest and finding fulfillment in our relationships. I focus on empowering you to re-story your experiences so you can move out of limiting interpretations and arrive at, or renew, your preferred identity that is congruent with your values.
