Life changes can quietly shake your confidence—whether it’s a shift at work, a relationship change, caregiving responsibilities, or realizing that the way you’ve been coping no longer works. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting your decisions, or feeling unsure of who you are in this new phase of life.
I work with adults who are adjusting to change and struggling with self-confidence, self-trust, or a sense of direction. Many of my clients are capable and responsible people who feel frustrated that they “should be handling things better,” yet feel stuck or depleted.

What does it mean to truly know yourself? To me, therapy isn’t about fitting into a neat, pre-packaged box; it’s about discovering who you are when the old scripts no longer work. I balance an analytical, perceptive mind with a naturally warm, empathetic presence. Together, we will create a space where you can safely unpack your heaviest burdens without fear of judgment, uncovering the deep insights that are already within you. Your well-being is deeply connected to your history, your environment, and your physical body. I also have a particular affinity for working with artists, activists, and other healing professionals.

In my experience, people often come to therapy because they are at a crossroads in their life. They may be uncertain about what to do about an important relationship, worried about their use of alcohol, in despair about having lost a loved one, or just needing to talk about the various stressors in their lives. I help people by working with them to better understand the issues that they are facing, the family history that may be influencing them and how to better understand themselves and more skillfully navigate their relationships. In my experience, therapy can help people find peace, even in challenging times.

I am passionate about resilience therapy and coaching. Resilience is an individual's ability to 'bounce back', stay strong, or use effective solutions to handle life's challenges, changes, or demands. Utilizing these resilience skills can help when facing a range of problems, from everyday stress to significant life crises. There are many stressors that can lead to low levels of resilience. If you don't learn how to cope with your stressors, this can impact your well-being and focus. I will provide you with practical tools and techniques to help you identify your stressors and build your resilience.

For over 20 years I've helped individuals, couples and families discover new pathways forward. We all experience times when we're feeling life is getting away from us. We feel as though we're missing the opportunity to maximize our potential. As a result, we feel sad, a little upset, and at times a bit disappointed in ourselves. Sometimes this is due to a lack of confidence or belief in our potential. Other times we simply find ourselves having to manage unexpected and unfortunate circumstances out of our control. If you've been experiencing increased anger, stress, anxiety, or fear of the unknown, know that things CAN get better.

I believe we are all just the stories we tell ourselves. There is nothing good or bad about this – it is just how we craft and make sense of our life. You and I may have the same exact experience of something, and you may hear, notice, and even value things I had not. If we are made up of our stories and our stories are extremely subjective, how do we make good sense of the world around us? You have all the answers inside you.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
