You and your partner just aren’t clicking the way you used to. More and more fights are going unresolved, or sometimes you choose not to bring something up because you don’t have the energy to deal with it. The distance between you keeps growing, and you feel even more alone. It seems like your partner doesn’t see you sometimes, let alone know what you actually want or need. Those sweet beginning days of your relationship feel like they happened to two different people. While you can remember what it felt like to be close to each other, it seems impossible to feel like that again.

I believe in every person's ability to heal, change, and grow. I specialize in anxiety and depression, grief, trauma, relationships, fertility, pregnancy and post-partum issues. I can help you identify your unique strengths and resources to work through these issues. I provide strategies to reduce and manage the emotional effects of these, while supporting you in understanding the core issues and building positive coping skills to move forward. Therapy is a collaborative process and we work together to reach your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to specialize sessions according to your concerns and your life.

Are feelings of anxiety or depression stealing your joy? Are you in a difficult life transition (new job, relocation, new baby, marriage, divorce, empty nester, retirement) or amid a major life stressor (health issue, death of a loved one, job loss)?

I will meet you where you are and offer my support and encouragement. Together, we will build an authentic relationship and create a safe space for you to discover hope, healing and positive change. I see couples and individual adult clients.

Navigating life is difficult! Many obstacles we can plan for, but so many appear without warning. You may encounter these problems and feel stuck, ill-prepared, or frustrated that you can't seem to move forward. This might lead you to feel frustrated in your marriage, lost as a parent, or even overwhelmed as a student. Please know that there is hope. While it may not appear that way, there is a path through the pain that may seem cloudy or dark. I would love to be a part of helping you find that direction.
