I work with individuals struggling with sadness, anxiety, self-doubt, self-worth, shame, boundary-setting, self-acceptance, and feeling not good enough. I utilize a systematic approach to help clients build daily coping skills and understand the underlying reasons for their struggles. With greater insight and awareness, clients are able to find their truest voice and build a life that echoes their best self. I also work with couples looking to cultivate healthy communication skills, a richer relational experience, a revived vibrancy. I commonly work with life transitions, parenting questions, and identity conflicts.

You want to be listened to--really heard. You are sick and tired of conflict that creates lonely distance between you and your partner. You would like fewer angry moments and more times when you feel close and connected to your partner. You want the tools and skills to have RESPECTFUL conflict conversations that bring you closer. You are ready to grow, if only someone really understood you and had the expertise to coach both of you each step of the way. You may be feeling discouraged: "We've tried everything." So you want couples therapy rooted in solid research and a therapist who tailors it to your unique situation.

Have you ever experienced a sense of feeling trapped? At times, we may find ourselves trapped by negative thoughts and distressing emotions; struggling to break free from them on our own. Many of us have fallen into this cycle of irrational thoughts, painful feelings, and unwanted consequences.

Stress levels are skyrocketing, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. Despite efforts to maintain composure, the inner critic amplifies feelings of insufficiency, making true balance seem out of reach. For too many, chronic stress has become debilitating, transforming exhaustion into a constant state. The pursuit of happiness feels futile as settling for discontent becomes the norm. If you're weary of neglecting your own needs for the sake of others, know this: you deserve better. It’s time to prioritize your well-being. Don’t let another day pass in the shadow of stress. It’s time for a change.

Receiving therapy should no longer be a taboo. Confiding in others and receiving professional help is something we all do in many facets of our life. Most of us see a doctor or go get our car fixed when we have issues with our physical health or a tire is loose, so why not see a therapist to help improve our mental health? Therapy can also be preventative. Why wait before issues feel too far out of reach?
