My ideal client is seeking therapy to help empower them to achieve whatever aspirations associated with wellness, education, career, relationship, and mental health goals they may have. The client may want support gaining new insight, working through challenges, or an opportunity to process unresolved issues holding them back. The client needs to be seen, heard, validated, empathized with, and encouraged in a safe and professional environment. The client may need psychoeducation to develop emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, boundaries, assertive communication, self-care, and more effective interpersonal skills.

My ideal clients are women navigating life transitions amidst uncertainties and pressures, filled with excitement yet also significant anxiety. They face fear of the unknown, pressure to succeed, and societal expectations, feeling anxious and inadequate while balancing family, work, and personal life. They seek a supportive environment to express themselves, gain clarity, manage stress, find emotional stability, and build self-confidence. Their goals are to achieve a healthy work-life balance, feel empowered, and navigate transitions to find fulfillment and happiness.

Using a warm and encouraging space, I help clients feel supported, inspired, and empowered to make meaningful and lasting change. I often say that attending therapy is like cleaning out your emotional closet. At first, it may feel intimidating to sort through the things that have been building up for months, years, even decades. Maybe the piles seem a little overwhelming. Maybe you feel stuck. I'm here to help you take all of the clothes out, sort through them, and find a place for what is important and fulfilling. I'll help you learn the skills you can use to maintain your emotional closet - even after our goals together are met.

Most individuals come to me when new or stressful life circumstances have overwhelmed their traditional coping strategies. We work together to understand the circumstances that they are facing, the distress that they are experiencing, and explore strategies for reducing their distress and enhancing their well-being. Together we form an understanding partnership that enables them to face the world with more effective coping strategies and improved relationship skills. My theoretical approaches include emotion-focused and psychodynamic therapy. My clients describe me as empathetic, effective and collaborative.

Whether you’ve spent a lifetime together or are just beginning your journey, relationships provide us with priceless opportunities to learn, grow, and heal. So often, we see conflict and power struggles as “warning signs” rather than precious growth gifts. How can this be when conflict with our partner is so painful? The answer lies in the struggle itself. Beneath the anger, there nearly always lies hurt, disappointment, fear, or sadness. The Imago relationship approach challenges us to embrace our vulnerability and communicate with our partner openly and without fear. When we are heard and truly seen, healing begins.

We all have our struggles. Maybe you're struggling with depression or anxiety, or anger outbursts or procrastination. Other emotional and physical challenges include feeling overwhelmed, feeling numb, isolating, workaholism, chronic pain. I don't want you to suffer from them anymore. It's important to remember, relief is possible. You can build a better relationship with yourself and others and lead more of the life you see for yourself, or discover more of what you want out of life.
