Are you no longer happy with your unhappiness? Have you realized that carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders gets heavier; with each situation or event that brings more responsibility and accountability? Do you need an emotional outlet where you no longer have to suppress your emotions? You do not have to continue to feel alone and unheard. The grace and space you provide to others, you deserve it too.

I help
women
find their true self when they strip away their roles of mother and partner.
Are pregnancy and motherhood supposed to feel this way? Why didn't anyone tell you how lost and alone you would feel? Since becoming a mom, you may feel like your partner and yourself are on autopilot and don't connect anymore. By acknowledging that you need some extra support, you can take the first steps to feeling more hopeful about this new adventure. You can work towards trusting yourself and others. You can be present in the moment for child, yourself and your loved ones and not lost in your self-critical thoughts.

Men! Why do I only work with this population? Because they are an underserved, misunderstood, and often villainized group. Most want to be the best versions of themselves and accomplish this through therapy. I strive to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental, safe space to unravel the mysteries of self. My sense of humor, practical approach, appreciation for direct comments, and an athletic background make me a good match for this population. My three best friends are males who add flavor to my life! And guess what? I can mirror what you can expect from a healthy
female
in your life.

I have a passion for working with adult
women
in all stages and phases of their lives.
Are you going through a big transition? Maybe you are a new mom and you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or are trying to figure out who you are outside of being a parent. Maybe you are graduating from college, starting your first job, changing careers, dealing with infertility, have an empty nest, or are grieving a loss. Your life feels overwhelming, unmanageable, and pretending that everything is perfect while you’re broken inside just isn’t “working” anymore. You want to feel better but instead, feel stuck and don’t know where to start. You want to learn practical skills and identify strategies that work for your life.

As an experienced therapist, having worked with thousands of
women
, I believe that every
woman
can find freedom from the pressures we so often place on ourselves.
You want to appear successful, like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time and you spend a lot of your time making sure everyone else is taken care of, but you some how neglect your own needs. Maybe you’re tired of stressing out, tearing yourself apart every time you mess up, or feeling like you’re about to crumble at any second. At this point, it may be hard to even remember when you didn't feel like this. But one thing is for sure, you’re ready for some relief.
