Becoming a mom shakes everything up. It’s like a second adolescence— your body, your relationships, and your identity all change. It can be deeply uncomfortable. My goal is for you to trust yourself again and find ease in your new role. I don’t take too many clients, so I care deeply about each person I work with. I will remember the names of your loved ones. I will want to see pictures of your dog. I will consult with your doctors, advocate for you, and send you resources outside of session. Most of all, I will be genuinely curious to hear what you have to say.

Anxiety and stress are making it hard to fully enjoy your life. You may feel stuck in the same looping thought patterns and feel constantly "on edge." You have difficulty remembering a time where your anxiety or stress wasn't bothering you. It may feel daunting to connect with friends and family. Your personal faith may struggle. It can feel really lonely and isolating to experience anxiety. It can feel like no one really understands you. You want to be able to enjoy your life again. You don't want to be stuck any more!

Life is filled with inevitable change–some of which is more manageable than others. Youth, especially, undergo rapid transitions – in the development of the mind and body, within relationships, and with their emotions, identity, attitudes, and beliefs. Navigating these transitions on their own can be overwhelming, leading to incongruent living and problematic behaviors including withdrawing from peers or family, exhibiting defiance, or struggling at school. Children and adolescents also struggle with self-confidence leading to excessive worrying about the opinions of others, increased dysregulation, and a lack of calm and composure.

Do you feel disappointed about where you are in your life? Do you find yourself coping with that disappointment in unproductive ways? Do you feel helpless to make meaningful change? I’m here to help you find your way. I know what it’s like to struggle with the direction your life is headed.

You never know when anxiety will consume you. One moment everything is fine, and out of nowhere anxiety hits you. Overwhelming thoughts flood over you after an argument with your partner. You tell yourself over and over your boss is making work unbearable, and your partner is unsupportive. Time between peace and stress is getting shorter, and you wonder if there’s any way to break free from negative thoughts. It’s affecting every aspect of your life. Work is unfulfilling, your relationship is suffering, and your anxiety is high. Has stress and anxiety become your norm? Do you just keep going hoping for a solution?

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, yet it is one that really matters. It is understandable to feel out of sorts, isolated, or misunderstood when experiencing relationship, family, peer, academic, or workplace stress, during a life transition, or when recovering from trauma. You may also be struggling with a death, the end of a relationship, a relocation from another state or country, an adjustment to a health issue of yourself or a loved one, or being in an environment in which you feel you don't fit. It can be painful to experience these feelings and to try to find a way forward. You don't have to do this alone.

Intimacy and sex shouldn’t feel like a burden, but when “Date Night” appears on your calendar, a wave of mixed emotions rises. You know the ambiance will be beautiful, the meal enjoyable, and you’ll have a wonderful time laughing with your partner. Yet, the thought of what’s expected at the end of the evening fills you with dread. Sex is supposed to be exciting, a way to connect deeply—but for you, it’s become something you avoid. Even simple movie scenes depicting intimacy stir discomfort. You feel guilty, as though you’re somehow failing as a partner, and it weighs on you. You just wish you had answers.

I am passionate about the work that I do and truly believe in the benefits of utilizing DBT skills with my clients in the outpatient setting. I want to help my clients move away from all-or-nothing thinking, find relief from emotional suffering, regain control over powerful emotions, and eventually, not need me anymore.

Before I came to America I worked with soccer teams helping their players deal with anxiety, something I still do. Twice per year I return to England so therefore clients who are relatively independent and not in crisis are the best suited to working with me. Consequently, I do have a network of excellent support therapists who work with some of my clients while I am away. Many of my current clients are not sports people, they often have to cope with big work and home pressures. I try to help them locate their inner resources while maintaining a supportive stance throughout our meeting.

If you are the person, everyone turns to, who do YOU turn to? You give everything to everyone else but never have time for you. It gets tiring always being the ''strong'' one. I see you. You might be struggling to get through the day or question yourself and your worth. This can look like anxiety, depression, problems recovering from a traumatic experience as an adult or as a child.
