Are your kids acting out? How connected do you feel to your significant other? How often do you spend time with your family around the dinner table? I can help you build more caring and satisfying relationships while encouraging each family member to be unique and independent. Our lives change often, and some of those changes are more difficult to adapt to than others. The ways you used to cope with challenges aren't working anymore. I can be a valuable outside perspective. Together, we can try something new.

Life can be challenging at all stages! In my work with late teens to adults, I have found a common denominator: they have all the potential within themselves to be who they want to be, but got lost along the way. I work with you to fight the urge to be perfect and do everything "right." Do you want to feel confident in your job? What direction to go in your sport? Decide if this relationship is right for you? Want to feel comfortable and confident in your body? Improve your relationship with food? Process trauma related to an eating disorder or relationship? If you're in one of these stages, we might be a good fit!
