Therapy with me is a balance of lighthearted conversation and meaningful exploration. Some days, we’ll talk about work, relationships, or creative blocks, other days, we’ll dive deep into what’s beneath the surface. You don’t have to come to therapy with everything figured out - I meet you where you are, creating a space of trust, curiosity, and support.

Please note: I am no longer accepting new couples therapy clients. I have occasional openings for individual clients. Introduction: My most common client is someone wanting to work on their marriage/intimate relationship. These clients typically feel frustrated, unheard, and anxious about the state of their partnership. Many don’t know how to achieve change in their marriage or what healthy/fair expectations would look like. Although the most common goal for my clients is to save their marriage or mend a broken connection, sometimes they specifically need help leaving a relationship that no longer serves them.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, the changes we face can feel overwhelming, painful, or isolating. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, a major transition, or simply struggling with your mental health, you don’t have to do it alone.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change: after a loss, during pregnancy or postpartum, in early recovery, or while trying to make sense of a new chapter in life.
