I can help improve communication, connection, and conflict resolution; heal relationships after infidelity; handle difficult parenting situations; navigate divorce and coparenting; and improve sexual intimacy.
At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that as humans we are all flawed and imperfect. In our work together, I accept and respect my clients just as they are, while helping them grow into who they want to become. My goal is for you to end each session feeling supported, knowing that no matter what you’re walking through, you have a partner in the journey. And, as my kids will tell you (with the obligatory teenage eye roll), nothing is too embarrassing or taboo for me to talk about comfortably.

I work with teens (15+) and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, anger, loneliness, or disconnection. You may notice painful relationship patterns yet feel stuck in cycles that are hard to break. Many of these patterns are rooted in trauma or early attachment experiences. In our work, I offer a warm, attuned space where you feel seen and safe. Together, we gently explore how your past shapes your present, strengthen self-understanding, and build new ways of relating—to yourself and others—with greater security and choice.

I specialize in working with high-functioning professionals—including social workers, healthcare providers, therapists, educators, leaders, and helping professionals—who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or the effects of unresolved trauma.

Many of us may reach a point at which strategies that once helped manage stress, professional demands, and relationships no longer feel as effective. This experience often begins in subtle ways: lying awake at night replaying conversations from the day, becoming preoccupied with anticipated outcomes or worst-case scenarios, or finding it difficult to fully disconnect from work during personal time. At this stage, many people begin looking for a more thoughtful way to understand how their thinking patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral habits interact.

I understand the needs of children & teach co- parenting skills for separated or together parents.
I admire & appreciate the courage it takes to initiate & maintain therapy. Individuals & couples call because they are stuck in unhealthy patterns & do not know how to do something different. I assist them in creating & maintaining healthy patterns. Anxiety & panic are struggles for many people. They learn to control the anxiety as opposed the anxiety controlling them. Miscommunication happens because people often listen to talk as opposed to understand. I teach clients how to communicate in the therapy room so they leave knowing how to do it. Clients regain trust so they can reconnect emotionally & sexually.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
