Life can be inherently stressful. We often feel trapped by our own circumstances, voiceless in our relationships and powerless to significant change in our lives. We even convince ourselves that if we just wait a little while longer, the problem might go away. Well first let me start by saying that, therapy is best sought when we realize and acknowledge that we are struggling. So I want to acknowledge the first step that you’ve taken in the healing process, which is taking the time to visit my page today.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burnt out? Maybe there is a constant feeling of being on edge, and irritated. Sometimes we don't even know why we feel this way, and these feelings can lead to unhelpful patterns and cycles that cause us to feel stuck and hopeless. To break out of the pattern, you need to first address the feelings. The good news is you don't need to do that alone. Through therapy, we can work together to develop new patterns, a sense of self, and a path for growth.

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process.

I work with kids, teens, couples, trauma, families on their fertility journey, parents struggling with depression and/or anxiety, parents with poop/ spit up/ this morning’s breakfast/ coffee stains on their sweatpants.

When you are in darkness it can be impossible to believe that the sun will ever shine again. When your body and mind are in a state of anxiety, peace can sound like a mythical concept. When you live through trauma your psyche can decide that vulnerability is never a risk worth taking. Through reflection, exploration and the building of trust, therapy is a space for you to learn how to thrive. Together, we will help you find hope, connection and emotional safety.
