If you are experiencing problems in a relationship it can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem problems can result from, or increase due to unresolved relationship issues.

I am extremely passionate about helping women, adolescents and couples forgive and let go of past hurts, failures, trauma, and self-defeating behaviors.

I believe we must normalize mental health and learn to work through trauma, stress, anxiety, unforgiveness, peer pressure, divorce , co-parenting, anger, self-esteem, identity, and any other struggles that we cannot face on our own.

As a child of divorce and as a mother who has experienced the devastation of divorce , I understand the pain and struggles that go with the lived experience of divorce in families.

I believe that with help we can reimagine divorce into a restructuring of the family unit creating safe healthy space for family to continue after. My goal is to come alongside you and your family as you walk through this difficult chapter of your life. Together, we can create resilient healthy families to protect and guide our children.

Did you know you don't have to be in a state of crisis to seek therapy? I have met many of my clients at various points in their lives. Some come in with the goal of facilitating growth in specific areas, while others come in looking to gain the necessary tools, to navigate a particularly challenging life transition. Regardless of when you decide to begin this journey of healing, the decision you make is one that is personal to you and your unique set of circumstances. The self-knowledge, skills and insight you gain is an investment into your future, which pays dividends, by helping you better cope with life events going forward.

At times, we all struggle with the inevitable trials of being human. You may be a parent or partner in a significant relationship struggling with connection, and in need of both practical and emotional support. At times, feelings of anxiety, apathy, and depression arise, and feelings of disconnection and loneliness can take hold. For others, we may be at a crossroads in our life, brought about by divorce , relocation, caregiving for a loved one, or a desire to have a bigger impact in our communities and the world. We may be asking ourselves BIG questions, “what’s next”, “what should I do”, and “what do I want from life”.

I work with women and men facing tough life events like divorce , grief, relationship issues, career burnout, health crises. Sometimes it's an empty nest or retirement that has them questioning what their life purpose is now. These life changes and disruptions can leave you feeling depressed/sad, anxious, stressed, stuck or confused. Using a holistic approach, I can help you work through your unique challenges and move towards a healthier and happier life. My unique perspective and experience as both a licensed therapist and a certified coach, enables me to provide psychotherapy or coaching, depending on your situation.
