Whether you are struggling alone or as part of a couple, life doesn’t have to be this hard. I will help you get unstuck from chronic anxiety or depressive patterns, so you can experience relief and hope that paves the way for joy. Isn't it time to get the support you need? I teach tools and provide insights that disrupt unconscious sabotaging patterns, using a strength-based approach that empowers you to achieve the change you desire. With specialized training in couples therapy, I help break the exhausting, debilitating cycles that create hopelessness and hinder your ability to love and feel loved by your partner.
I have advanced training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, a proven approach that helps couples resolve issues and restore feelings of love, safety, and security. I will help you regain a positive sense of self. You deserve to feel relief from the consuming stress of feeling inadequate and/or stuck, and I am here to help you!
Parenting can lead to feelings of overwhelm, loss of self, anxiety, depression, and partner conflict. I have collaborated with Mary Hartzell (author of Parenting from the Inside Out) and Harvey Karp (author of Happiest Baby on the Block), and I can help you enjoy parenthood! I am licensed in VA and CA and provide services both remotely and in person.
