Therapy is collaborative. I work closely with you to understand and explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and your behaviors because small changes in one area can lead to significant changes in other areas. Together we will identify and challenge unproductive thoughts and behaviors to bring about improved mood and a greater sense of well-being. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs and help you achieve your goals. I provide support and practical help so you can address current life challenges and long-standing issues.

We have all learned the hard way that life doesn't go according to plan, and that's where I come in. My goal is to provide you with a non-judgmental space to process, find balance, and the tools to successfully navigate all that gets thrown your way. In this work, I believe that it’s all about relationships. I prioritize bringing my most authentic self to create a safe and welcoming environment where we can develop a strong foundation to achieve your goals. While we may set big picture goals in our time together, I believe there is no win too small to celebrate and emphasize progress over perfection.

Are you a person struggling with parenting, transitions, confidence, low self-esteem and overwhelm? Are you dreading another day of shuffling kids, prepping meals and not having any time for yourself? Is being a parent leaving you feeling lonely, empty, and lost? Life can be challenging.

I can offer strategies to help you rediscover joy and connection to the person you used to be.

We all face stressors in life that can become overwhelming. Feeling stuck with our own negative thoughts or anxiety about new changes; repeatedly engaging in the same fights with our partner or spouse; worrying that we cannot support our children in the way we want - these are all universal experiences. Everyone faces obstacles, but not everyone has to remain feeling helpless, hopeless, or stagnant. It is at these times when it makes the most sense to reach out for support and when therapy can be most effective.
