Are you feeling stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward? I’m here to help you explore your sense of self, build emotional resilience, and create a life that feels more fulfilling. My approach combines open self-exploration with practical tools, focusing on achievable, concrete goals that empower you to make lasting change. Rooted in the philosophies of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help you balance acceptance and growth, so you can feel more grounded and in control. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe, seen, and supported.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing and work collaboratively with you to find that anchor. My style is flexible, direct, and compassionate, with a touch of humor to keep our work approachable and human. I draw primarily from DBT while integrating other approaches to find what works best for you.

I specialize in working with women, couples, families, and parents. I particularly enjoy and specialize in working with high conflict couples, high conflict families, and high conflict parent-coaching needs. I am here to support in navigating a better relationship and system in the midst of high intensity emotions or conflict.
