I am a family therapist who works with individuals, couples and families. I focus my practice on helping individuals improve their important relationships - with their children, with their spouses or with a significant other and with their parents. Helping clients with work relationships is also a significant part of my practice. I've facilitated sessions with several generations of married couples within one family. Important relationships influence a person's emotional and physical states, resulting in some cases in extreme distress. When people reduce their sensitivity to others, they can make dramatic improvements in directing their own emotional and physical wellbeing.

Family’s, couples and individuals struggling with life transitions, divorce, co-parenting, grief, anxiety, and depression to name a few topics.
Through the lens of Bowen Systems Theory I work towards providing insight and awareness into the emotional process that we often find ourselves intensely reacting from. Building on that insight and awareness, decreasing the emotional reactivity while increasing calmer and more rational choices. Looking at our emotional patterns to better understand them allows us then to think in a way that can provide an openness to making different choices. To know better is to do better! To understand why we react to our situations and where those patterns have been learned, we can then start to look at each new moment as it’s own.

Hello! I am a resident clinician at the Center for Relational Change. I am grounded in family systems, meaning that in my work, clients are not seen as a collection of symptoms, or as having a single cause of distress; I see them as individuals whose experiences are deeply connected to their relationships, cultural contexts, the expectations they’ve shouldered, and the stories they might have inherited about who they “should” be. Having lived in both collectivistic and individualistic cultures myself, I experience, and deeply appreciate, how our backgrounds can shape us, and how complex each person’s story can be.

Something feels off—but you’re not sure why. You might seem fine on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

I help adults explore the deeper roots of emotional distress, gain insight into long-standing patterns, and create meaningful change. If you're ready to better understand yourself and build a more fulfilling life, therapy can help—and I’d be honored to support you in that process.

I find that the hardest part of therapy is understanding that it isn't always about rehashing every part of your past to make progress toward a healthier, brighter future. Sometimes it's about having the tools to be resilient enough to get through the pain, the stress and the trauma to persevere in life and make it better. Developing an understanding of anxiety, depression, inattention, anger and other mental health issues can be the start of developing effective strategies to move forward in healing and progressing beyond the roadblocks.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
