Relationships can bring out the most complicated parts of us. I work with adults navigating divorce, difficult relationships, parenting, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients want to understand how their past shows up in the present and break patterns they don’t want to repeat. Therapy can help you make sense of those patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and get clearer about who you are, what you need, and what you want to do differently.
My approach is warm, relational, and direct. I take an active role in therapy, helping you notice patterns, make connections, and understand the experiences that shape how you see yourself and others. Together, we'll explore what keeps you stuck, clarify what you need, and help you make meaningful changes in your life and relationships.
I specialize in working with adults navigating divorce, relationship challenges, burnout, parenting, and the changes that come with midlife. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
