Carl Jung once said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate.” Until we speak our stories with words, we will act them out with our actions. I desire to be a compassionate witness to your story so your shame can recede, your freedom abound, and the neuropathways in your brain can chart a new course.

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, specifically Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to help clients be more effective in relationships, to better manage difficult emotions, to live mindfully, and to develop realistic goals for their lives.
In working with clients, I hope to help individual's discover their uniqueness. However, over my 18 years of working with people as a psychologist, I have also come to appreciate the many similarities inherent in being a human being. Often people come to therapy because they feel, "Something is wrong with me." I have found it to be healing when a patient realizes, "Oh, that's a normal response," given what has happened. They can then be open to learn ways to work with their symptoms, to work on their goals, and to begin living a satisfying life with the ability to find the inherent joys, along with the challenges, in life.

Together, build practical tools to help you navigate anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or simply stuck, it can be hard to know where to begin. You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, carrying the emotional load of motherhood, balancing the demands of being a single mom, or trying to find your sense of self again. Whatever you’re facing, you deserve a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel truly heard. Therapy can be a place to make sense of what you’re experiencing while reconnecting with the strengths that have helped you survive, adapt, and keep going.

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.”- Carl Jung. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with all ages. I have worked with children and families for over 25 years, and my greatest joy is found in being a “helper.” Registered Play Therapist means that I have a specialty in play therapy. While this specialty equips me in a unique way to work with youth, it's common for me to incorporate some playfulness in all my work with families and individuals.

If you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed, you don’t have to stay there. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted—caught in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional shutdown that don’t seem to shift, no matter how hard they try. Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and results-driven. Together, we’ll identify what’s actually keeping you stuck and use practical, evidence-based strategies to create meaningful change.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
