Personalized Therapy for Meaningful Change
Life can be overwhelming, relationships can feel strained, and sometimes, no matter how much you try, you still feel stuck. Therapy is not just about managing symptoms—it’s about deep transformation, understanding yourself on a new level, and creating the life and relationships you truly want.
-
Harsh self-talk, constant comparison, frustrating procrastination, and—perhaps the hardest—giving yourself a break?
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a life transition, or feeling disconnected from yourself, individual therapy provides a space for insight, growth, and actionable change. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and create a clear path forward.
-
Recurring arguments, growing distance, unspoken resentments, and—maybe the hardest—learning to truly hear each other?
Relationships go through seasons—some fulfilling, others challenging. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, trust issues, or a sense of distance, couples therapy offers a structured space to heal, reconnect, and move forward with intention. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
-
Miscommunication, lingering tensions, clashing expectations, and—the hardest part—breaking cycles that feel impossible to change?
Families are complex, and sometimes, unspoken tensions or repeated conflicts create barriers to closeness. Family therapy helps identify unhealthy patterns, improve communication, and build a foundation for stronger, healthier relationships.
-
Feeling stuck, repeating old patterns, knowing something needs to shift, and—the real challenge—giving yourself the time and space to do the work?
Accelerated sessions are an intensive, results-driven approach for those ready to dive deep and create meaningful change in a short time. In these extended sessions, we go beyond surface-level insights to uncover patterns, resolve obstacles, and develop clear, actionable strategies. With my expertise in guiding transformative conversations, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of your challenges and a personalized plan to move forward with confidence. These sessions are ideal for individuals, couples, coparents, and families looking for change in a short amount of time.
-
Looking for a supportive space to grow, connect, and navigate life’s challenges with others?
Group therapy offers a unique space for insight, healing, and connection—allowing you to learn from others, gain new perspectives, and feel supported in ways individual therapy can’t always provide. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, healing from difficult family dynamics, or working through anxiety, group therapy provides a structured environment for growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
I offer both general process groups and focused topic groups:
Growth & Process Groups: A supportive, open-ended space to explore emotions, gain deeper self-understanding, and work through challenges in real time. These groups help you develop self-awareness, improve relationships, and build resilience.
Focused Groups: Designed around specific themes, these structured groups provide targeted support, tools, and strategies. Upcoming topics include:
Navigating Life Transitions – Whether it’s a career change, relationship shift, or new phase of life, this group offers a space to process change and build confidence in what’s next.
Healing from Emotionally Immature Parents – Inspired by the work of Dr. Lindsay Gibson (Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents), this group provides support for those healing from childhood experiences with unavailable, neglectful, or self-focused parents.
Divorce & Co-Parenting Support – Divorce is difficult, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This group offers guidance, support, and tools to help you move forward and co-parent effectively.
Managing Anxiety – Learn how to recognize triggers, develop coping skills, and shift patterns that keep you stuck in worry and fear.
If interested, please email or schedule a consultation for more information.
*New groups begin in April

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a range of emotional and relational challenges. My expertise includes navigating life transitions, improving relationships, managing anxiety and stress, overcoming patterns of people-pleasing and self-sacrifice, and building resilience in the face of adversity.
I also specialize in supporting those who have experienced the effects of growing up with emotionally immature parents, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and emotional independence.
-
Clients who work with me are often high-achievers, deep thinkers, and caregivers—people who give so much to others but struggle to prioritize themselves. They may feel stuck in patterns of self-sacrifice, emotional overwhelm, or uncertainty about life transitions. They may struggle with identifying and expressing emotion.
My approach is ideal for individuals, couples, and families who want a structured yet compassionate space to gain clarity, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change

The duration of therapy depends on your unique goals and needs. Some people see improvements quickly, while others may need more time to work through deeper issues. We'll regularly assess progress and adjust our frequency as needed to ensure you’re on the right path.

The fit between therapist and client is crucial for therapeutic success. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes. To help ensure we’re a good match, I offer a free 10-minute phone or video consultation. During this brief meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to assess whether my approach, experience, and personality align with your goals and needs. If it feels like a good fit, we can continue exploring these topics in our first session.

I understand how discouraging it can be when therapy doesn’t feel relevant or deeply connected to your needs. My approach is active, empathetic, and highly individualized. I take the time to fully understand your unique situation and goals, and together, we’ll develop a tailored plan that targets your specific challenges. I draw from evidence-based strategies to ensure that the therapy process is both meaningful and effective, helping you feel truly heard, supported, and empowered.
