I'm a mother to young adults and married for over two+ decades with a professional background and MBA. I understand the complexities of dating, couplehood, family life, parenting, and professional challenges. I specialize in couples therapy & individual therapy for adults. At this time I am taking on new (adult) clients for individual therapy with insurance. I see couples with cash-pay options only.
My goal is to help you achieve more satisfying relationships with yourself and others, including your children, partner, parents, colleagues, friends, and society. I guide you to discover your inner strength, fueled by positive self-talk and a shift in thinking. Therapy with me has the potential to restore your emotional resilience and wellness, providing you with a toolbox of practical skills to navigate life's challenges on your healing journey.
I serve as your compassionate guide, seeing you as the expert on your lilfe. I partner with you to support your healing and growth. I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space to help you get unstuck, unhook from what’s weighing on you, and restore your sense of peace. If trauma is part of your story, I offer EMDR, Brainspotting, and mindfulness-based approaches to support your deeper healing, at a pace that feels right for you. If you don't find the session time that works for you on my calendar, please reach out to share your scheduling preferences.
With a trauma-informed lens, I support PTSD, Anxiety, Grief, Life Transitions, Parenting, and Marital and Relationship Issues. Clients can expect personalized treatment plans that aim to improve overall well-being.
