My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, navigating major life transitions, or struggling with emotional and interpersonal difficulties. Many come to therapy seeking support for anxiety, depression, family conflict, communication problems, relationship concerns, grief and loss, or the stress that can accompany changes in life circumstances. I help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships while identifying patterns that may be contributing to their struggles. Together, we work to improve communication, strengthen coping skills, etc
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are facing relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and family conflict. With more than 25 years of clinical experience and specialized training in family systems, I help clients better understand the patterns that affect their emotional well-being!
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is not always easy. If you are struggling with personal challenges, relationship difficulties, family concerns, or a major life transition, you do not have to navigate it alone. Please feel free to book with me!

I work with traditional/nontraditional individuals, couples, and families on life cycle transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and loss. Given my wealth of experience, I have worked successfully with marital distress, couples facing infertility, divorce, blended families, and same sex couples. Initial sessions involve getting to know you, understanding the concerns and getting you unstuck.
