Specialties

As a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of mental health challenges and personal growth opportunities.

I believe in treating the individual within the context of their relationships and environment. Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety, unwanted thoughts, parenthood, or any other life transitions, I am here to offer you a safe and supporting space to work through your concerns and achieve greater happiness and fulfillment.

  • Anxiety can make you feel on high alert, like your body is ready to fight or run. It can take over your life, leading you to feel like you are at its whim.

    We will utilize elements of mindfulness, meditation, and narrative therapy to understand and build a positive connection between your body, mind, and your anxiety. The goal is to regain control of your relationship with anxiety without shaming this part of yourself.

  • When you have ADHD your brain works differently. There is nothing wrong with this, you are just living in a world primarily built for neurotypical people.

    Together in therapy we will identify areas of your life that are challenging and utilize your innate strengths and available resources to build ways of working that are effective for you to flourish. You will be able to learn to work with your brain, instead of struggling against it.

  • OCD is known as the “doubting disorder” because it latches onto your core values and can make you doubt or question your beliefs. This can lead to you feeling alone.

    The evidence-based treatments for OCD include Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure-Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). All treatments help you regain control of your life. We will work together to find the treatment approach that works best for you. To learn more about each approach, visit the Treatment page.

  • Many people struggle with social skills and asking for help can feel incredibly challenging.

    Through therapy, both kids and adults can work on their social skills in a safe and supportive environment, gaining the confidence and tools needed to form healthy relationships and navigate social situations effectively. We’ll develop tools and strategies for communication, self advocacy, and relationship building.

  • Life is not always easy and straight forward, and going through a big transition can be especially challenging. Gaining or losing a family member, children starting school or leaving the nest, relationships beginning or ending. All of these are times where it might be helpful to have some extra support to process your emotions and thoughts, and work through any challenges you may be facing.

    Together we will work to navigate the changes in your life with more confidence and clarity. We will explore your strengths and values, identify any barriers, and develop a roadmap for a more fulfilling life journey.

  • Relationships are a major part of our lives as humans, and while they can be enriching and joyful, there can also be times where differing views, values, and ideas can lead to relationship difficulties.

    Therapy can help you maintain and enhance your healthy relationships, and improve those that you wish were better. This is a safe place to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns surrounding your relationship(s). Let’s work together to build better communication, clarify disagreements, improve your emotional and physical intimacy, and understand one another on a deeper level.

  • Parenting is often full of excitement and joy, but also worry and frustration. It is common for new parents to feel a sense of disappointment when the reality of parenthood doesn't align with their expectations. Raising a child can be demanding and challenging, and it's normal to feel a sense of loss for the freedom and autonomy you once had.

    Therapy is a safe space to process emotions and changing expectations, improve communication skills, and understand and build your values as a parent. Together we will develop coping strategies and help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your children, leading to more fulfilling relationships. Through therapy, you can work through challenges and improve your overall well-being as a parent and individual.

  • Postpartum can be a very trying time in your life with lots of excitement and happiness but anxiety, worries, and fears can overwhelm your emotions. Going through this major life transition is challenging and can be lonely or isolating.

    We will work together to build a new routine for you and your new family, identify your needs and how to meet them, and help you regain your sense of grounding. Transitioning to parenting is hard, but through therapy you can feel more present in the moment and able to weather the difficulties.

  • Infertility and loss can be an incredibly isolating experience. You may find yourself withdrawing from those around you or enduring situations only with incredibly high anxiety.

    We’ll work together to help you process complex emotions such as grief, anger, and disappointment. You can learn how to integrate these emotions into your life as well as manage the physical, emotional, and relationship impacts of fertility challenges.

  • Are you tired of feeling constantly drained and overwhelmed in your relationships? It can be challenging to advocate for yourself and set boundaries in order to have the relationships you want.

    Therapy is a safe space to explore personal values, needs and desires, and work through the challenges in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. I can help you understand yourself and develop effective communication skills, improving your ability to assert your boundaries and promote happier relationships.

  • It’s difficult when you feel lost or uncertain about who you are and what you stand for. Perhaps you struggle to make decisions that align with your authentic self.

    In therapy, we will work together to explore your personal experiences, beliefs, and aspirations. We will also address any internal conflicts that may be holding you back from fully embracing your authentic self. By clarifying your values and gaining deeper understanding of yourself, you can make decisions that align with your true desires, leading to greater life satisfaction and fulfillment.
