We don't have to continue in negative cycles that keep us unhappy, and that are possibly having a harmful impact on our children, and creating unhealthy ideas about how relationships should be.
I specialize in working with couples, marriages, families, and I also provide individual therapy. I aim to increase healthier communication, understanding and on building a stronger connection, beginning from the first therapy session. I provide psychotherapy without judgement or blame, in a supportive, empathic and caring environment. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. I look to empower people and to help them tap into their inner resources, aiming at aiding them in developing coping strategies to manage stressful situations, and to find solutions to their relational challenges.

I work with children (12+) and adolescents, college students, young adults, and women with a particular emphasis in the challenges of motherhood, relationships, and prior trauma.
Therapy is for everyone. At some point in their life, most people find themselves in need of a little extra support...someone to listen without judgement, a space to process, and a non-judgmental relationship that can help them find their own answers. My goal as a therapist is to help create a warm, inviting environment where my clients feel comfortable and welcomed. My style is genuine and real. I believe that good therapy is a balance of building a warm, trusting relationship and acquiring practical skills for application.
