My passion is helping families to adjust to significant life changes. Whether you are entering into marriage, welcoming a child into your family or realizing that it is time to refocus on your marriage, my goal is to help you strengthen and grow your family bond. Services include: PreMarital counseling, Marital Enrichment coaching, Perinatal Mental Health Support for moms AND dads (aiming to prevent or combat Postpartum Depression & Anxiety), hands-on parenting support including my direct observation & modeling.

Building self-awareness is key to any relationship, whether between two adults or parent and child. Creating your own family dynamic and parenting perspective is a unique process for each family. It is healthy to seek support. I am a married mother with two children & I bring lessons learned from my own marriage and parenting journey into the work I do.

I understand that even in the midst of exciting times, like getting married or having a baby, anxiety, stress and fear can creep in. Call for a free consultation to determine if working with me could be a good fit for your family. I work with each family uniquely to fit their situation, needs, & desired outcomes, while using evidence-based practices.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
