I work with couples experiencing conflict, communication struggles, trust issues, emotional disconnection, or those seeking premarital counseling. Many come to me when arguments feel stuck, distance has grown, or they are trying to heal after infidelity. Together, we explore the patterns that have led to hurt and disconnection and develop a clear plan for rebuilding safety and closeness. Using the Gottman Method, I help couples shift unhelpful dynamics, strengthen communication, and restore friendship, trust, and shared meaning so they can feel more hopeful and connected.

Individuals looking for counseling are often struggling with issues that have developed over time. Often, these issues can be caused by painful relationships, work environments, family problems, traumatic events, health issues, alcohol or drug addiction as well as being an affected family member or friend, loss of loved ones or simply feeling stuck in an unsatisfactory place in life. My focus is to carefully listen and understand the issues that you want to address and then focus on helping you to utilize your strengths, abilities, and skills to find a sense of empowerment in your life.

I am passionate about working with teens and children, offering both individual and family therapy to support reducing conflict, improving understanding of each other, and building deep, meaningful relationships.
Families are messy. I have a particular soft spot for the "odd one out"; those who have spent years wondering why it's so hard to figure out relationships or feel close to the people you genuinely love. Helping folks navigate boundaries with family members, learn to speak up for the first time, redefine old relationship patterns, or consider significant changes in how they relate to the people closest to them are the things I most enjoy doing. I'm passionate about working with all things family: parent-child (of all ages!), sibling, parenting, family roles, life transitions, and the complicated emotions that come with belonging.

My ideal clients are adolescents, adults, and seniors who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.
Clients come to me when their emotions feel too intense, their patterns feel unmanageable, or their relationships feel strained. Many are dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, avoidance, or habits that no longer serve them. They want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn how to respond in healthier, more grounded ways.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families to identify strategies that can support them with identifying ways to increase communicational skills, building healthy and authentic relationships, and reorganizing patterns of behaviors that support individual and intergenerational healing.
With an understanding that you are an expert on your own life and experiences, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to support them in their journey to actualized wellness. Utilizing a systemic lens allows for a non-blaming, holistic approach to identifying difficult interactional patterns, historical/familial patterns of behavior, and encourages clients to take ownership of the things that are within their control while allowing them let go of the things that are not. Therapy can be a scary and difficult process and I strive to show up authentically to allow clients' conscious exploration of their healing journey.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
