I work with individual and couples to address issues related to infidelity, low self-esteem, identity, family and relationships, substance abuse, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I welcome individuals and couples of all identities and backgrounds and am particularly passionate about working with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am grounded in the belief that therapy should be available to everyone and am committed to creating a space where your voice can be heard. My approach is curious, warm, and direct as I try to understand how you create meaning in your life.

My clinical work is grounded in evidenced-based treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention, Parent Management Training, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). During care, I give ample attention to the family system as I have found understanding the context in which one lives provides insight for how to optimize symptom reduction and enhance overall functioning.

Professionals and Millennials often feel deeply the stresses of work, family struggles, and relationship or dating challenges. Any of these can have you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, hurtful people, low self-esteem, comparing to others, or not feeling "good enough." You take care of everyone yet don't get your own needs met. You seek a partner or to improve your relationship, but your past gets in the way. A parent (still!)makes family harmony difficult. I've worked alongside people in their 30s and 20s at universities and nonprofits on three continents. And I can help you live your whole authentic self with less stress.

I am trained as a Child Family Investigator for the Courts.
I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

My formal educational training is a master's degree and licensure in counseling and marriage and family therapy.
I work collaboratively with people to help them create the lives they want -- in their relationships, families, recreation and work. This process of exploration and discovery is inspiring and taps into hopes, dreams and imagination through story and re-connecting and remembering memories and experiences of connection and joy in their lives. Clients who benefit most from working with me are usually bright, creative and interested in freeing themselves from the constraints of family, social and cultural expectations that have become internalized and held as truths. This is a way of finding your way home ... to where your heart is.

* I am no longer accepting new clients* I believe the most profound change occurs within relationships. Whether that be the therapeutic relationship, a relationship with yourself, a partner, parent, child, or family member, relationships in all their forms have the ability to foster new ways we see and interact with ourselves and others. While relationships impact us, they do not define us. Each individual carries the strength within them to make the change they wish to see.

Your mental health is important. How you experience your world and cope with your feelings, influences every part of you. Every person deserves a place where they can share their most challenging experiences, cope with their feelings, and feel empowered to live life. Helping people find motivation to improve their health and well being is my passion. I started my psychology practice to provide a space for people of all ages and backgrounds to begin their paths to self-improvement. I work with people in-person as well as remotely through HIPAA compliant video telehealth technology.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to look at their issues and be willing to change. I feel the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort conducted in a safe and caring environment. The relationship between the therapist and the client is as important in the healing process as any techniques that are used. I feel it is important to empower individuals to go out and live a rich and fulfilling life. I certainly believe that it is a privilege and an honor to participate in helping people heal through their life's most challenging times.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
