Finding balance is hard and we all need help sometimes. School struggles, parenting/marital stress, or past traumatic events can lead us to feel overwhelmed. Therapy is a powerful experience to better understand our emotions and behaviors. You deserve to be happy. I am committed to helping you/your child reclaim your happiness and achieve mental and emotional well-being.

I will teach you about underlying psychological principles that help you to understand yourself and how you relate in the world. Along with helping you to understand, I will provide you with many tools, which will give you a clear sense of direction, for making lasting, positive, changes in your life.

Therapy can be a powerful tool to address the challenges we all encounter, including those that arise in our relationships, our work, or as a result of life transitions or loss. I believe insights gained through the collaborative psychotherapy process can relieve symptoms, support meaningful connections to others, and promote the self-esteem and skills necessary to live a fulfilling life. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal issues, and life transitions, including the adjustment to motherhood.
