My approach is engaging, interactive, collaborative, and curiously attuned to my client’s needs. I believe in forming a trusting therapeutic relationship for facilitating transformative personal growth. I work with individuals and couples, providing a safe space to uncover core issues, limiting beliefs, and unhealthy patterns that keep you feeling out of alignment or stuck.

There are seasons in life that ask us to slow down, turn inward, and listen. You may find yourself carrying shame, grief, or confusion around who you are becoming.

As a therapist, it is my passion to empower my clients through these hardships, to kindle the light in dark spaces. My clients often come to me feeling lost in their identity, struggling with loneliness, or attachment wounds, and long to feel more confident, connected, and authentic in their lives.

I operate from an attachment lens and the belief that needs for attachment, connection, belonging, and acceptance are ever-present, often-overlooked drivers in our lives. Unmet attachment needs - whether past or present - can profoundly impact mood, self-esteem, and, of course, our relationships with others. I utilize a multiculturally sensitive, integrative approach to help individuals and couples gain insight into attachment needs, better communicate those needs with partners and loved ones, recognize and change unhealthy patterns and dynamics, and practice self-love.

I coach women (and sometimes men) to value themselves as much as they value others. My clients have had the following characteristics. See if any of these describe you. They want to be liked by everyone. They become anxious when others are angry with them. They avoid conflict at any cost. They judge themselves as never good enough. They are afraid to express differing points of view. They value the opinions others hold of them, more than they value their own self-approval.

I hope to work with people open to exploring their assumptions and expectations of themselves and others around them. My ideal clients may feel stuck in place or just find themselves in a rut, looking for possible options for change and improvement. I enjoy working with clients seeking more personal control and more authentic connection to others – pointing themselves toward more fulfilling tomorrows.

"Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing the light will shine again”, (ADHDsuperhero).

Make the decision to take time for you; you are worth it!

My focus is on helping parents find balance, learn self-care, loosen the guilt and learn about their littles. I help those in all types of parenting roles with their new or changing identities as they're shifted into a life different than the one they once had. Parenthood brings to the surface a lot of old feelings and wounds that often need to be processed as well as figuring out which patterns are being played out from their own childhood and if there are any they need help not repeating. I have a specialty in babies, toddlers and preschoolers but assist them by working with their parents. I do 1:1 therapy with adults and kids.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
