Life can feel overwhelming at times - whether you're navigating relationship challenges, blended family dynamics, or major life stressors. While friends and family provide support, sometimes we need a trained professional who can offer specialized guidance from an outside perspective. Therapy offers a safe space for exploration and growth. Our work together will help you develop fulfilling relationships, greater emotional well-being, and increased confidence. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping couples strengthen relationships and work alongside families and teens to build healthier dynamics.
In addition, I can assist women who are going through life transitions including stepmom challenges, anxiety, infertility, perimenopause, taking care of elderly parents while raising your own family, and other significant changes. I have over 15 years providing therapy to adults, teens, couples and families and consider it an honor to be a safe space.
I am currently developing a Stepmom Connection Group - a supportive space for women navigating blended family challenges, step-parenting roles & parenting responsibilities. Every person's journey is unique, and I'm here to provide the support, guidance, and practical tools you need to thrive through life's challenges. See below &contact me to learn more.

I'm grateful to have attended trainings in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an attachment based theory that helps individuals and couples recognize and change the negative cycle and address underlying emotions and attachment needs. I have attended John & Julie Gottman's Level 1 and 2 trainings as well and have found both models to be helpful in working with clients.
