Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
I believe that telling your story is powerful. Life brings struggles—trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, difficult relationships, major transitions, or simply the challenge of finding our place. When these experiences begin to define us, they can take away our sense of joy and direction. We may feel stuck, unsure of who we want to be or how to move forward. These moments are part of the human experience—whether we face them as individuals, in relationships, within families, or in our communities. Often, the first step is developing awareness and allowing ourselves to truly sit with how we feel.

Life presents challenges that make us feel stuck, mad, or hopeless. A lot of people believe therapy is about one-sided conversations that lead to a "cure." Change starts from within, and sometimes, people need support to begin moving forward and healing. You are the expert in your life, and my purpose is to facilitate the process. I use an integrative approach to fit your needs and allow you to fulfill your need for meaningful change. Everyone has a story. You may be experiencing an emotional injury or psychological distress, but this does not communicate brokenness.

You might feel like you shut down, freeze, or get overwhelmed when emotions run high—especially in relationships or conflict. Maybe you replay conversations in your head afterward and wish you’d said something different. You might struggle to trust others, or even trust your own feelings. On the outside, you hold things together, but inside it feels exhausting, confusing, or lonely.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work with barriers and unresolved elements of experience that create patterns in and through our lives. Patterns can dictate our past, present and future if left unattended. My focus is to work with individuals and families to empower themselves through identification of stored experiences and patterns. I provide a safe place to be curious and observe and work with parts of our experience that are asking for attention. I incorporate tracking body sensations and the rhythms of nervous system in order to bring awareness to stress, tension, and trauma in the nervous system and body.

You’re standing at a crossroads, and it’s exhausting. A major life change, a career shift, move, relationship ending, or new chapter has left you feeling anxious, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. You’ve always been the strong one, the fixer, the person others rely on. But lately, your thoughts spiral, your confidence wavers, and your inner critic has gotten louder. You feel stuck between who you’ve been and who you want to be, unsure how to take the next step. You need someone on your team – a collaborator – to keep you focused on what matters and offer you resources as you connect to your inner wisdom.

It seems like life should be better than this - I have heard some version of this sentence from every client, couple, or family for more than two decades of counseling. They just know life and relationships should function better and are trying to figure out how. The clients I have seen are struggling with relational dysfunction, anxiety, depression, grief, or the residue of trauma. Many of them feel lonely, confused, and hopeless about one or several issues within their story. Many of the stories are very hard and painful. Understandably, they all want to find a better way to live their lives and change the story.

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.
