My priority is to help clients lead a valued, fulfilling life. I work well with creative or insightful individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life decisions or transitions. In addition to working through specific challenges, psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight into why you act the way you do, explore who you want to be in the world, and better understand what you need in order to thrive. I feel privileged to do this kind of work with people.

In my practice, I use EMDR to help individuals with trauma, anxiety, and major life changes.
I specialize in couples/families, trauma, anxiety, and psychosis. As a Level 3 trained therapist in the Gottman Method, I provide couples therapy focused on resolving conflict, repairing bonds, and strengthening connections. I enjoy working proactively with couples to fortify their relationships before stressors arise—whether preparing for marriage or navigating new parenthood. For those who are uncertain about their relationship and are considering ending it, I offer discernment counseling. Additionally, I support families coping with a psychiatric illness.

Rockwell Psychological Services offers psychological and psychoeducational evaluations and treatment for children ages 2-18, as well as individual, family, and couples therapy for adults. Parent training and education are central to our practice, as we believe that the most substantial and sustained change in child behavior comes when families are empowered to take strategies learned in therapy sessions and apply them to real life situations. We collaborate closely with medical, educational, and clinical providers both during the assessment and treatment process to ensure that families are fully supported.

Life is pretty good, so why do you feel so terrible? You’re smart enough to figure it out. Just go a little bit harder and stop complaining. Muscling through usually works. But you can’t remember the last time you felt happy. So here you are, hoping therapy can help. Part of you worries that it will be just venting or talking about your mom. Another part tells you that it’s time to try something different. You can’t keep having the same conversation or scrolling through endless internet “self-care” tips. This is bigger than downloading a meditation app. You're ready to stop just going through the motions of your life.

I have an extensive background in the areas of trauma, LGBTQIA identities, sex and sexuality, interpersonal violence, family conflict, divorce, life transitions, anger, anxiety, and depression.
I like to be real with people. I find the best way to work with individuals and couples is to be present, ask the right questions, and give honest feedback. Whether you are coming to therapy for personal growth, a relationship or family issue, healing from loss, past trauma, or anything else, I want to explore who you are, how your life experiences have affected you and your relationships, ways in which those experiences keep replaying themselves, and how to get you out of the cycle. My approach is to provide a comfortable and real space to talk, explore and work on feeling better.

Navigating the intersecting paths of career, family, and societal expectations can be tough. I specialize in entertainment professionals and women's issues, including managing the stress and anxiety of trying to "do it all." I am especially passionate about helping creatives and working mothers balance myriad and sometimes conflicting priorities. Perhaps you feel deluged by your parental, familial, or professional responsibilities. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or out of sync, nursing wounds that are bandaged but unhealed. I collaborate with clients through empathy, authenticity, and humor to navigate difficult circumstances.

Not accepting new clients
However, in order to cope with life, we often drown out our inner voice with things that bring us comfort but also numb us and make us less present.
I provide therapy for creative and intuitive people who want to shift from surviving to thriving. Highly sensitive people often wind up feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, exhausted, and powerless. It’s not in our nature to move through this competitive, extroverted, fast-moving society with ease. And yet, we too have to find a way to feel at home here. I want you to know that your sensitive nature is not a weakness. In fact, you can use your creativity and your intuition to develop tools that will empower you to navigate life's challenges while protecting your spirit and nurturing your artistic and spiritual practices.

I can help you find relief, and I can help you construct a beautiful and abundant life limited only by your imagination.
Nothing feels right. Your body, your relationships, your job--they all feel so heavy, so frustrating, and out of your control . You wake up stressed before you even get out of bed. Sometimes you respond with anger, sometimes panic, sometimes you simply withdraw. Maybe you've imagined the way things are supposed to be, and wonder what you're doing wrong, or maybe you feel like circumstances, or other people are blocking you from your ideal life. Or perhaps you are so stressed that you can't even imagine a better life because it seems so unrealistic. What's the point?

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
