Accepting new clients. If you need strategies for improving communication and repairing damage in your relationship, if you need help improving family relationships and coping with a child's anxiety/big feelings, or if you want to create a plan for better family blending and coparenting, I am here to help. I specialize in teaching communication skills, repairing attachment, navigating betrayal, and teaching coping skills for anxiety in children and adults. I provide Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce, and I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich premarital program.

My approach is focused on setting specific goals and teaching you skills and strategies to reach them. I use attachment-based, CBT, EFT, and Gottman models of therapy, as well as play therapy with children. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I earned a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland.
Relationships are challenging, and I am committed to helping you learn strategies and guide you through practicing them so you can meet your goals and see improvements in your relationships and mental health. Visit my website, call, or email for a free 10 minute consultation.
