Introduction

With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals with mental illness, I provide a unique perspective to the therapy space. I have worked in private practice and in an acute care psychiatric hospital providing individual, group, and family therapy. I specialize in working with adults navigating difficult life transitions, especially transitions related to motherhood/parenthood, balancing family/work life as well as marriage struggles, emotional dysregulation, and stress. My philosophy in working with clients is to provide the best well-rounded care while focusing and building upon strengths. I am a certified DBT therapist. I also have expertise in using CBT as well as the Gottman Method for couples work. I will always make sure to tailor our dialog and and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach is warm and supportive. I strive to cultivate trusting and meaningful relationships in which my clients find the comfort they need to explore difficult issues and emotions. I'm passionate about empowering my clients and leading them through a journey of self-discovery to assist them in arriving at new insights and realizations.
