I love working with individuals experiencing difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce - especially recent ones), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with individuals and couple's navigating life after divorce, or contemplating one. I also work well with neurodiverse clients. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the client/therapist fit as an important tool for change.
I'm trained in several evidence-based treatments, and I use an integrative approach. Though I am present focused, I focus on clients’ upbringing because I believe current patterns cannot be understood without examining the past. I also draw from lived experiences with marriage, divorce, solo parenting, neurodivergence, and parenting a neurodivergent kid.
I am very collaborative and help clients make meaningful changes in the areas that are important to them. Offering individual and couple sessions though teletherapy. Let’s work together to help you build a life worth living! Send me an email to get started.
