You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.

Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.

Finding the right kind of therapy can feel overwhelming, so here’s a simple breakdown of some of the approaches I use in sessions. Think of them as different evidence-based tools in a toolbox. We’ll figure out which ones work best for you!

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Changing Unhelpful Thoughts

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Finding Balance & Managing Emotions

Solution-Focused Therapy – Moving Forward, One Step at a Time

Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Understanding All Parts of You.

I am informal and casual during sessions. I like to describe it as feeling like you're having coffee with an old friend. Clients can expect sessions that are cozy, casual, empathetic, and safe. I will offer you insights into your experiences, support on how to handle issues, and use evidence-based treatment to help you through the obstacle.
