I work with adults, couples and families - and what remains consistent is the thread of hope we each have to be better, to do better, to feel better. We inherently possess that capacity and therapy can bring about positive transformation. Through therapy and assessment I determine strengths, target goals and anticipated challenges. Collaboratively, we create and execute a customized treatment plan.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

My desire to become a therapist came to me a bit later in life. As a result, I bring 20 years experience of being a parent as well as a lot of life experience. I grew up with a sister with intellectual disability and it had a profound impact on my childhood, but it wasn’t until much later that I realized it was still affecting me as an adult. Early life experiences and relationships form us in ways we may never realize. Siblings often find themselves falling back into their past patterns even as adults. Therapy can be a safe place to explore these dynamics and bring the past into the present.

I specialize in working with ADHD, HSP, OCD, and Autism. Being in our bodies- and being in our world- can be very difficult. This is especially true when when you're a highly sensitive person. My typical client often hears "you're being too much" while also dreading the feeling of not "being enough". I'm here to take a deep dive into what's making you feel like "too much" and highlight the ways you are "just enough for the right people". Typically, my client's goals are to live more comfortably in their sensitive skin, find liberation from shame, and better manage depression and anxiety.
