I help patients find hope in adversity. I explore a patient's need for external validation. I explore old negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care & self-regulating practices. I model healthy attunement, explore conflict-avoidant behaviors, & healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore guilt, shame inadequacy & fear that causes "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits. I teach clients to build trust & reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts.

Searching for a therapist can feel a bit like online dating; endlessly scrolling through photos and profiles in hopes of finding the right match. I'm here to make that process simple and stress-free, so that you can feel comfortable talking about what's really been weighing on you. I'm not that stoic, serious therapist you've traditionally seen portrayed in movies. I smile, I laugh, I frown, I may even (gasp!). Therapy doesn't have to feel super "clinical" in order to have benefits.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.
