Great to meet you!

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I have worked with children, teens, adults, parents and couples. In addition, I am certified as a Gottman Institute Bringing Baby Home Educator, a research based program offering support during the transition to parenthood.

My approach to therapy

I provide a non-judgmental and safe place to share fears, hopes and adjustments. Built on a strength based foundation of connection and validation, I support my clients in preventing as well as finding solutions to their challenges. I focus on client goals and strengths rather than spending a lot of time on the past. I specialize in life transitions, supporting individuals and couples through premarital counseling, infertility journeys, and the pre-and postnatal periods. As a Gottman certified Bringing Baby Home Educator, I help support the inherent identity shift and transition to parenthood by strengthening the couples friendship, increasing intimacy, and regulating conflict, thereby improving their well-being and that of their children.

What you can expect from me

My clients can expect to feel heard and validated and will leave their sessions with small, realistic steps that they can practice right away.
