My overall philosophy as a counseling psychologist is that although therapy can be hard work, it should also be easy to get into, easy to get out of, and easy to return to when needed. I am a generalist with a focus on working with women, LGBTQ individuals and couples, developing professionals, and clinicians. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, and I incorporate a variety of treatment methods as appropriate, including process-experiential, narrative, and solution-focused strategies. I strive to create an environment where people feel supported and challenged to explore fears, discover strengths, and achieve goals.

That’s where I come in.

Feeling stuck in the same cycles? Exhausted, drained, or unsure how to move forward? Change, conflict, and relationship challenges can feel overwhelming, lonely, or impossible to untangle. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and caring — yet feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to break patterns that no longer serve them.

While we are capable of managing a lot, sometimes we may feel too sad, too scared, too tired, or too lonely. This can make having a relationship, family, school, work, or just living that much more overwhelming. Life is also full of surprises and you might be going through changes that feel too daunting or even devastating. You might have struggled for a long time or just recently. Despite your best effort, you still feel quite stuck, helpless, confused, or frustrated. You might even know what you need or want to do differently, but not so sure about where or how to start. This is a great start and I am so glad we found each other.

Does it feel like there is a heaviness that has been following you? Maybe you are successful in some areas in your life and appear as though you're thriving, even when you feel unsettled. You feel deeply and often find yourself walking on eggshells or people‑pleasing. Maybe you’ve been labeled the “black sheep” or “too sensitive" and shrink yourself to stay connected. I work with these issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, perinatal/postpartum concerns, relationship challenges, career stress/burnout, identity, and trauma. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you often feel deeply affected by the emotions of others, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or as though you’re carrying more than you can manage, these experiences can feel isolating, but with compassionate support, you don’t have to navigate what’s happening in your life alone. I work alongside individuals navigating cycles of anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and traits associated with being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Many highly sensitive individuals experience heightened empathy, deep emotional processing, and an increased awareness of their environment, which can lead to both unique strengths and challenges.

Do you often feel like a side character in everyone else’s story instead of the main character in your own? Maybe you’re an educator, healthcare professional, or caregiver who spends so much time giving to others that you barely have anything left for yourself. Maybe you’ve entered a new decade and are starting to question who you are and where you fit now. Or maybe your mind feels like a browser with 47 tabs open and you can’t find the one playing music while everyone else seems to have it together. Regardless, you thought you’d feel better by now, and you’re ready for change. I see you! You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
