About

Have you ever thought there was a more authentic version of yourself? One that is just under the surface, but is held back by things that have happened? Maybe you’ve glimpsed this version of yourself in the eyes of someone who truly loves you, who really “gets” you, like a grandparent, a teacher, or a friend. They see only the best in you, and bring out the best in you, too. Around them, you may feel stronger, more confident, and more content. The way we think about ourselves, and the world around us, is influenced by many things, and these thoughts can become ingrained, and are often negative, and can feel automatic. When we work together, we’ll look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and also work on boundaries, communication, and coping skills. Let's look ahead to the life you want and build skills to reach your goals. With couples, we often work on understanding your divergent needs and how to make your relationship more successful. I work with both individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with women experiencing infertility and pregnancy loss. Our work will take place in a safe space. In a world that pulls our focus in so many directions, we will focus on just you. Book an appointment or consultation with me by clicking on my website link, or message me.

"I often use CBT and DBT with clients - these are 2 behavioral approaches that, when used together, help clients with mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Many times when I start teaching clients these skills, they ask, "Why didn't anyone teach me this in school?" These skills are simple but very effective."
