New to Grow
I am a feminist, a gender affirming, LGBTQIA+ advocate and supporter, and I know that one person can make a difference. If you need that person, come walk with me. If you are that person, let's work together to support the one who needs you. I work with parents navigating high conflict co-parenting, complex grief, traumatic loss, and life after emotional abuse. I believe that people know themselves best - you are the expert on yourself. I will suggest ideas and I hope that you'll try them and then give me feedback about what worked and what didn't. Therapy is a journey that we walk together. If that sounds like a good fit for you, let's meet.
Our first session is an opportunity to meet one another and see if we're a good fit. I will ask questions to get to know you and what you're hoping to accomplish in therapy. I encourage you to ask questions too. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth. At the end of the session, we will decide if it makes sense to continue working together. If it does, we will schedule our next session. If it doesn't, I will give you names of other therapists who you can reach out to and see if they are a better fit. The goal is always mutuality.
My therapeutic approach is both deeply empathic and highly practical. I work with women and parents navigating some of life's toughest moments - high-conflict co-parenting, traumatic loss, complex grief, and emotional abuse - and I meet them exactly where they are. I specialize in suicide prevention, postvention, and post-crisis family stabilization, which means I can support clients not just through immediate crises but also in building longer-term emotional safety, stability, and resilience. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and solution-focused: we work together to identify what's causing distress, develop strategies to manage it, and create meaningful change in daily life. Clients often leave therapy with: - Greater emotional regulation and coping skills for high-stress situations. - Clarity and confidence in decision-making around co-parenting and family dynamics. - A stronger sense of stability and safety for themselves and their children. - Hope and empowerment to move forward after loss, conflict, or trauma. In short, my work is designed to help clients not just survive difficult times, but regain control, rebuild stability, and feel capable of thriving. Telehealth allows this to happen in a flexible, accessible, and safe space, tailored to the realities of modern life.
I work with women and parents navigating high conflict co-parenting, complex grief, traumatic loss, and life after emotional abuse. With specialized expertise in suicide prevention / postvention and post-crisis family stabilization, I provide focused telehealth therapy to help clients manage distress, rebuild stability, and adjust to life's toughest challenges, empowering them to regain confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I believe everyone can benefit from DBT skills - distress tolerance to increase your capacity to deal with life's frustrations, and interpersonal effectiveness to increase your ability to communicate what you need when you need it and how you need it.
Grief Therapy
Grief is a nonlinear journey, and everyone will experience it at some point in their life. I have grief specific training to help you along the path and to remind you that you are not regressing. I will walk beside you as you move through this challenging process.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
"People who are experiencing anxiety are living in the future. People who are experiencing depression are living in the past." (Evan Javanfard) It's my hope that by helping you to live your life in the present, the majority of the time, that your capacity for living your best life will increase.
