Taking the step to begin therapy is difficult and courageous. Psychotherapy challenges us to face ourselves, and we tend to be our own toughest critic. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental, collaborative and individualized, in that each person is unique and has their own strengths and challenges. My expertise is being authentic and relatable in forming trusting relationships with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, scared, anxious, depressed, grief, loss, sad, hurt, neglected, abused, deceived, and dismissed as the result of life experiences. I hope to be part of your journey and share this with you.

I want you to feel seen, accepted, hopeful and empowered to overcome fears and make the changes in your life to start feeling better. My specialties include: coping with relationships with Narcissistic partners and family members; Family Estrangements/Dynamics; Parenting issues; Dating/relationships; Disordered Eating; Career Changes; Learning Differences; and Gender/Sexual Identity.

I welcome the opportunity to learn your story and help foster self-reflection and self-awareness. By talking about life experiences and helping to make connections between the feelings, beliefs, and behaviors formed during your formative years, we can collaboratively determine if they are still effective in your current life or if you’d like to change as you move forward.
