Common issues I work with include stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, and maternal mental health.
Stress is a part of life, and learning to manage it can make a world of difference. My open and empathetic approach aims to foster a sense of connection and collaboration, reassuring you that you're not alone in your struggles. As a solution-focused therapist, we'll identify practical solutions for issues within our control, empowering you to take meaningful steps forward. For issues outside of our control, you’ll learn techniques to cultivate acceptance and develop a more positive perspective, alleviating their impact on your overall well-being.

I am very experienced in working with adults struggling with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, loss, low self-esteem, addiction and a wide range of other concerns.
Deciding to begin psychotherapy is one of the kindest and most important choices you can make for yourself. It can be a turning point in your life, but it can also feel scary to talk to someone you don't know well. I work with individuals and couples, providing a warm, safe, confidential environment where I will listen carefully and where we will work together to understand and resolve the issues you are struggling with--both in terms of how they affect your current life and in terms of how they became issues in the first place.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of our work together and will work collaboratively to meet you where you are at.
Welcome to my page! I am committed to providing therapy that is both compassionate and practical. Some of my patients seek therapy to address a concrete issue such as the dissolution of a marriage or relationship; others come out of a more abstract sense that something in their lives could be different or more fulfilling. By exploring and defining their personal values, we will work together take the necessary steps in developing richer, more rewarding relationships and lives.

My goal is to help individuals and couples recognize and value what's special in themselves, even sometimes finding their strengths in what appear to be weaknesses. I believe self-knowledge and self-acceptance are the best ways out of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship impasses, and other ways of feeling stuck. Getting to know yourself doesn't have to mean looking for "problems." It also means identifying our strengths and learning how to use them. We're all different and unique. I think learning to value our differences is one of the most helpful things we can do for ourselves.

Whether it is deciding to work on a relationship or realizing it is time to let go.
I see people in individual and couple therapy. I try to balance understanding a couple as a whole as well as the two individuals that form the relationship. I help couples focus on ineffective communication patterns that result in a sense of frustration and discouragement, which push each other away. I encourage each person to express his or her emotional needs more directly and openly. People often express anger and criticism about their partner's behavior, but have difficulty asking for what they need in a clear, non-attacking way. When each person makes an effort to change, they start to feel less stuck and more hopeful.

I can help you unstick those old, stuck patterns and free up your available energy so that you can grow, change, and thrive rather than just survive.
