As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy. I can relate and find it meaningful to work with individuals suffering from anxiety. Anxiety can be crippling and paralyzing, causing us to overthink which can get in the way of so many things in life from accomplishing goals, trying new things, socializing, sleeping or even smaller things that add up until you're overwhelmed with them, like answering the phone or checking your mail. If you're feeling misunderstood, like you can't be yourself, anxious, worried, or trapped in repeating patterns that are causing you pain, I will join you where you are and we can work together to help you create a secure sense of self, and restore and improve relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The pace of therapy is individual, but I will take the time to understand who you are and your background. In the initial sessions, we'll work together to get a clear understanding of your concerns and goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The best part of therapy for me is when you feel "she gets it". The experience of being understood, validated, seen and heard. That's what I strive to give my clients. I take great responsibility for holding a safe space for you to freely talk about the things we normally don't talk about with people. I will be authentic, transparent and honest with you.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I guide my clients to pay attention to their emotional experience and help them identify the underlying emotions and unmet needs to create new, healthy patterns of interaction and reduce emotional reactivity.
Family Therapy
I use a combination of family therapy models including Structural, Strategic, Narrative, and Solution Focused family therapy to help families improve their relationships and break cycles of conflict and misunderstanding, build bridges where there is disconnect, and heal resentments and pain. Family therapy can help you and your family strengthen and build new ways of interacting and relating to each other with more empathy, understanding, and compassion. With increased flexibility and the right tools, your family will be able to adapt and overcome challenges as they arise with more ease.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients understand how their thoughts, behavior, and emotions are interconnected. With cognitive behavioral therapy we will examine thoughts and beliefs and ways in which they impact and influence our mood, behavior and perception of our experiences, self, and others.
