Many of us experience emotional hardships and strains which affect our abilities to create and sustain satisfying connections, or feel like our strongest self. Our emotions can be affected by adjustments, grief and loss, traumas, physical illness, family distress, and life transitions which can have rippling effects across our multiple roles. Taking a step to connect with a trained counseling professional,with whom you feel a strong and safe fit, can be one way to feel support and better. Through individual, couples, and/or group therapy, or appropriate assessment, I hope to offer a range of psychological support.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, frozen & annoyed by the world around you, maybe it's grief. Grief is more than death - grief is in betrayal, trauma, life-altering diagnosis, pregnancy/baby loss, divorce & infidelity, family rejection & traumatic grief like suicide or violence.
You're an intelligent, logical, hard-working person. You want to live freely, to be present for the joy & the people around you. But you're unsettled, irritated & unable to enjoy the life you've worked hard to create.
If you're feeling stuck, worried you're in too deep, please know there is a path through grief & loss. I'd be honored to show you.

I am offering telehealth services only. The purpose of therapy, as opposed to just talking with a friend or family member, is to facilitate personal and professional growth. This growth is typically most needed in the areas of relationships, mood, performance and an overall improved integration of one's identity and values. In order to make growth possible, one must feel safe in an objective, confidential environment. My primary goal is to offer a safe and supportive place for change. Throughout the entire process, I will encourage, guide, challenge and support you in making the changes you deem to be right for you.

Eating challenges, whether yours or your loved ones, can feel lonely, confusing, and shameful. And yet, for many, they can also feel stabilizing and familiar, or simply unavoidable. The relationships we keep with our food and body can be incredibly complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. After years of experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, I understand those complexities and the sensitive nature of this type of work. I offer a collaborative space for those individuals and families who are ready to work towards a life where eating is intuitive, connective, safe, and fun.
