I was inspired to become a therapist through my own therapy journey during undergraduate school. At a time when I felt unsure of myself, my therapist created a calming, supportive space that helped me grow—and I knew I wanted to do the same for others. I understand how intimidating starting therapy can feel, so I focus on helping clients feel at ease and gradually settle into the process.

My passion for connection and relationships leads me to work with kids, teens, parents, couples, and families.
We sometimes feel stuck in the “spin cycle” of life causing us to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Often, we feel ready to change but aren’t sure of how or where to begin. My approach in therapy is to help you recognize your strengths, increase self-compassion, and adopt a curious approach to your current thoughts and beliefs which perpetuate the current patterns you are seeking to change. I use a variety of lenses in my approach including: Attachment theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Trauma informed, and Family Systems. This is your journey and my role is to meet you where you are and travel with you at a pace that you set.

Do you ever ask your partner a question, and, by their tone or the way they walk away, you can tell that something went wrong? Or, you get home from work and feel a familiar, tense feeling in the air? From those small signals and vibes, you can typically then predict how the rest of the interaction will go. That's where I come in. Each authentic session will be tailored to you, or you and your partner, addressing real issues in a way that resonates with everyone. I'll call you out on the ways that you are spinning your wheels and how to get out of that rut.

Or as a new parent, maybe pregnancy, birth, infertility, or postpartum weren’t what you expected.
For over a decade, I've supported grieving adults and families as they navigate life after loss. Having kids of my own, I became passionate about helping new parents feel calm, confident, and capable, and find small moments of connection and joy in parenting.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
