Putting your mental health as a priority can be a challenge. We all have many responsibilities that take up our time and attention. Maybe you’re a parent dealing with the daily tasks and grind of your family. Or perhaps you’re someone who has been feeling anxious and triggered by your partner because of the stressors of your job. If you have ever felt like life is a slippery slope and you’re losing your grip, you are not alone! I specialize in relationships. It can be the relationship you have with your family, or the one you have with yourself. Maybe it’s even the relationship you have with work.
I enjoy helping individuals, families, and couples in exploring how their life experiences and relationships have impacted them emotionally and mentally. Our past, and the expectations put on us by family and society can play a major role in how we interact with others and how we feel about ourselves. My approach is one of empathy because I have been there!
We can work together to break down thoughts that feel critical and overwhelming and get you to a place where you feel you have control. Whether you are a new or seasoned parent feeling on edge, a couple not on the same page, or someone who feels they are struggling with anxiety and self-doubt, let's connect so we can work collaboratively toward your goals!

I often use Narrative Therapy in my practice. As a strength- based approach, this treatment type reminds us that, "people are not the problem, the problem is the problem." We will break down negative storylines and re-write them to feel more helpful and encouraging. This approach works well with individuals and couples and allows us to work collaboratively to combat issues and feel empowered.
