You spend the majority of your days just going through the motions in your life; feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unfulfilled at work, at home, or in your relationships. You watch time pass and wish that you could have a life filled with more peace, fulfillment, joy or security...but you don’t know where to start. To the outside world, your life might appear to be okay, but for you, something just doesn’t feel right. You push yourself to do better, be better, but inside, you battle with a voice in your head that tells you it's not enough. At times, you feel like you’re barely holding it all together.

Are you constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!" and try to ignore your racing thoughts? You seem to start each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one or your child, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself circling in a self-blaming pattern.

The concerns that life brings us vary widely, but I often see people struggle with stress management, anxiety, depression, school or work-related concerns, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and the uncertainty of life's transitions. My approach is both collaborative and person-centered, while always rooted in evidence-based practices. Therapy is a place to unpack suffering in order to find understanding, balance, peace, hope, and joy.

I offer insight-oriented psychotherapy to women struggling to navigate through complicated, painful, developmental life transitions such as pregnancy, the postpartum period, new marriage, divorce, child rearing, empty-nesting, menopause, etc. Under these conditions of exceptional stress, past experiences and feelings often automatically, strongly influence current emotions and decisions. Sometimes these coping strategies work well, but sometimes they may actually be counter-productive. Having self-awareness of connections between past and present from therapy can helpful in making healthier, more adaptive choices. In this way, it can actually turn some of the hardest times in life into opportunities for growth.
