I’m committed to helping women recognize their inherent worth, find their voice, and cultivate the confidence to live authentically and pursue their aspirations.
My personal experience with therapy after my parents divorce and mother’s death with breast cancer has shown me that real change is possible when we recognize that we deserve to ask for help. The guidance and support of these therapists changed my life. Seeking support through therapy is an invaluable experience, and it’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of this process with my clients.
My specialties include: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Parenting struggles, Relationship Issues and Life transitions (such as career changes or new parenthood). I work with individuals, teens, parents, couples and families navigating life’s complexities.
My therapeutic style is interactive, warm, and compassionate. I bring together various approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), presenting opportunities to reflect and identify underlying issues while also offering skills and tools to use in tough moments. We all exist in the context of our families, relationships, communities, and the socio-cultural systems that shape us. Through this systemic lens, I help clients create lasting change and healthier connections with themselves and others.
I’m particularly attuned to the unique challenges women face in today’s world. Whether you’re juggling career and family, navigating societal expectations, dealing with body image issues, or seeking to redefine your identity, I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore these concerns. I’m committed to helping women recognize their inherent worth, find their voice, and cultivate the confidence to live authentically and pursue their aspirations.
As a parent myself, I understand how challenging and confusing it can be to watch your child struggle. With my experience working with families and teens, I take a collaborative, systemic, and strengths-based approach to care. I am also passionate about working with adolescents. Teens face more challenges than ever in this day and age, and I love being able to help them navigate anxiety, depression, school stress, avoidance and more.
For couples, I am trained in the Gottman Method and take an active approach in sessions. I help couples slow down communication and pay closer attention to each other’s emotions, attachments, and needs. Whether you’re looking to reconnect after a breach of trust, navigate a big life transition, or simply deepen your connection, I’m here to support you and strengthen your relationship.
The relationship between you and your therapist is essential in the therapeutic process. I take great pride in providing a space for collaboration. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and empowered to express themselves and their needs. Life never stops being challenging, but we can learn to ride the wave and take care of ourselves. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey towards growth, insight, and healing.
A little sleep in, hot yoga, some time to play piano or curl up with a book, afternoon card games with the kids, a leisurely dinner I didn’t have to prepare, and maybe some live music!
I’m doing parts work with my therapist to try to be present with the parts of myself that may have been overly protected for some time (fear, grief).
Dancing! (much to my kids’ embarrassment), hiking, and swimming
George Sand - she was a trouble-making, feminist writer who also got to lie underneath the piano while Chopin played. Hero.
The communion of energy that happens when someone feels truly heard, understood, and accepted - it can be magical!
