Are you feeling overwhelmed navigating difficult life transitions, intense emotions, or struggling with relationships? Perhaps you're carrying the weight of generational trauma, managing ADHD or Autism, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner. With 10+ years of experience, I help clients and couples move from feeling stuck to feeling capable. I use honest, direct, nonjudgmental feedback to get to the root of the issue. You'll learn to regulate intense emotions, communicate more effectively in relationships, process past trauma safely, and develop coping skills that work for you.
I specialize in relationship dynamics, insecure attachment, grief, depression, OCD, and anxiety. I use DBT, ERP, EMDR, EFT, and Gottman. I also help clients and couples with ADHD and Autism learn to manage executive dysfunction and emotional regulation. I believe in providing an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and couples.
I'm currently accepting new clients and couples for telehealth sessions Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where you can discuss your needs and see if we're a good fit.
Email me with a brief description of what brings you to therapy and your availability. You deserve support—let's get started.
