I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, work/school and relationship issues. My specialization, however, is in marriage & family therapy using a systems approach and many methods introduced by John Gottman. I'm advanced trained in Discernment counseling as well. Finally, I work on the entire spectrum of relationships from dating to pre-marital to transitions or divorce. I also provide parenting coaching. I am also trained as a divorce mediator and help many people with parenting plans.

Have you found yourself struggling with being present in your relationships? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions? Perhaps you’re easily frustrated or sadden with your interactions with others? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to push through…or maybe you are frustrated with “pushing through” and feel a significant feeling of tiredness. These are some of the few things I have assisted patients with. I believe I am the right therapist for you if you are seeking a safe, supportive space, in which you can address issues that may be preventing you from achieving your desired healing and growth.

We believe emotional wellness matters (a lot), and that everyone has the right to make it a priority. Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. So many questions can get in the way. Maybe you’ve even asked them yourself: Is this normal? Can talking to someone really help me? What is therapy all about, anyway? What would people say if they knew I was going? How do I find the right therapist? Will I be comfortable there? When will I find the time? Will my insurance pay for this? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And we can help.

I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

My work involves providing therapeutic support for people struggling with Autism, Level 1, as well as their partners and parents. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I am also happy to work with individuals that are experiencing trauma, bereavement, and spiritual questioning/transition.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples. My areas of focus include relational and intimacy difficulties, the LGBTQ community, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss.
