Adulting is already hard enough; throw in infertility, postpartum depression/anxiety, pregnancy following loss (heIlo, anxiety!), loss/grief/bereavement, trauma, relationship/communication issues, boundaries and family conflict and now you've got discomfort, unpleasant feelings, disconnection and stress. While we may not be able to change all of the obstacles in your life, we can work collaboratively to adjust expectations, reinforce coping skills, strengthen resilience, improve communication skills, set boundaries, process trauma and elicit clarity and direction. (This is a boutique group Telehealth practice).

Recently, I've added a sub-speciality of helping those affected by Narcissistic Abuse at the hands of a person they have wholly trusted (a romantic partner, family member, former therapists with poor and/or exploitative boundaries, abusive cult/religious leaders).
Affordable and accessible therapy is a necessity. I have two main concentrations to my practice: 1) I work with those interested in a confidential therapeutic setting to resolve complex psychological states and feelings (such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, childhood, relationship difficulties, personal grief, fear, shame, worthlessness, and existential questions about meaning-in-life). 2) I work in a consultant capacity for individuals with prescribed short-term, career-minded professional goals (public speaking, presentations, social skills, deadlines, writer's block, and management strategies).

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? Maybe you feel that no one can understand what you're going through? Do people consistently want to give you their two cents or give you unsolicited advice? Coming to therapy won't be a quick fix to everything, but it can be a place where you will get the time to discuss anything you want. I believe it is important for women and those identifying as women to have a space to feel comfortable and have the freedom to express yourself. I approach my work with kindness, humor, and a dedication to helping each of my clients create lasting positive effects for their lives.

Relationships are one of the most important components of our lives. They bring us happiness and joy but they have their fair share of challenges but sex shouldn't be one of them. When sex issues keep you from maintaining and obtaining healthy relationships than its time to seek support. I specialize in working with couples and individuals who struggle with sexual disorders, infidelity, sex/porn addiction, difficulty with sexual performance and/or arousal.

The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. We often lose sight of that connection due to invalidating, painful, and challenging experiences. If our foundation within is not solid, relationships with others often also suffer. I support those who are tired of repeating the same patterns that keep them stuck and unfulfilled. You deserve to live a life of meaning, purpose, and connection; my goal is to support you in the process of creating a life that aligns with your values.

I specialize in working with preteens, teens, young adults and adult individuals. Many of the feelings, wishes, and concerns that motivate our thinking and behavior are housed in the furthest corners of the psyche, away from awareness. It is no wonder that changing long-standing patterns, even if we know how beneficial this change can be, presents a challenge. As a therapist, I help explore the origin and function of the rigid internal mechanisms that inhibit personal growth. Together, we will uncover past experiences and hidden motivations, trace their impact on the present, and explore ways to move beyond the limitations.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
