Welcome!
Let's talk about it. Whether you're looking for help with an immediate issue
or deeper therapy for emotional growth, we can work together to get you where you want to be.
I create a safe space by deeply listening and understanding your concerns through your eyes. I use mindfulness,
cognitive-behavioral therapy, and emotionally focused therapy in addition to other modalities to help you achieve
emotional regulation, positive self-concept, and vibrant relationships.
Some of my unique areas of clinical focus include:
Managing neuro-divergence within romantic relationships—Helping couples affected by Autism, Aspergers, and ADHD
Tech trauma—Supporting women around their unique experiences and challenges in the tech industry
Pre-parental counseling—Guiding couples to make informed and intentional decisions regarding parenthood
Other focus areas of my practice include:
ANXIETY Stress, fears, obsessions/compulsions have you feeling unstable or unhappy
DEPRESSION Sadness, trauma, abuse, not sure how to start enjoying life
THOUGHTS ABOUT LIFE Pondering what it's all about and how to manage it
RELATIONSHIPS Family, intimacy, partners, friends~balancing our human need for connection
while holding healthy boundaries
