I utilize a strength-based approach to empower you to accomplish the change you desire. Whether you're an individual or part of a couple, life can be challenging when you're trapped in anxiety or negative/depressive thoughts. It doesn’t have to be this hard. I will help you get unstuck so you can experience a sense of relief and hope that paves the way for joy. I teach tools and provide insights to disrupt your unconscious sabotaging patterns. With specialized training in couples therapy, I can help break the exhausting and 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.
