My desire is to help you live a full life, to listen openly and without bias and to understand you outside of your problems; to help you see that you have strengths and resources that will help you get through this difficult time or the challenges you face. My goal is to help you feel hopeful again.
I love people, I love their stories, and my greatest strengths are compassion, empathy, authenticity, and honesty.
As a couple's therapist, (I also am a collaborative divorce therapist, divorce mediator, divorce coach, and parenting coordinator, and work to create parenting plans) my goal is to help the couple heal or learn how to move forward in a positive manner. One of my passion's are women's issues, including peri- and post-partum, loss, infertility, and grief.
First session
I really enjoy hearing couple's, family's and individual's stories and their unique life experiences. I do my best to ensure that each person is comfortable as meeting someone new and sharing intimate details can be scary. I treat people the way I want to be treated. My hope is to help you live a full, beautiful life, to listen openly and without bias and to understand you outside of your problems; to help you see that you have strengths and resources that will help you get through this difficult time. My goal is to help you feel hopeful again, whether facing divorce/loss, grief, relational or occupational issues, or mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
Strengths
I love people, I love their stories, and my greatest strengths are compassion, empathy, authenticity, and honesty. I truly enjoy helping others to re-discover themselves and their relationships.

When dealing with trauma from pre- or post-divorce, childbirth, loss or when trying to manage motherhood including post-partum issues, your career, or if you are feeling stuck, sad, confused, or anxious, I will aid you in identifying those obstacles that stand in your way of reaching your goals. Additionally, I truly have a passion for working with couples and families, learning their stories, and working together to learn new ways to communicate, to listen, and hear your family members. Together, we will work collaboratively and holistically to work through what your challenges are.

People have experiences that can lead to struggling with anxious or avoidant behaviors and by using an attachment-based model to heal from these experiences, we work together to become a securely attached person.
