About
If you are ready to enjoy your life, I’m here to help. You are WORTHY and you deserve to. I am a relationship, parenting, and infertility expert with evidence-based tools that work so you actually learn to: Recognize what arguments, defiance, & withdrawal genuinely represent. Strengthen communication & deepen connection with direct language. Overcome power struggles by building trust, responsibility, & mutual respect. Manage anxiety & depression during infertility, new parenthood, divorce, & career shifts. You may start therapy feeling powerless. But our collaborative work gives you the power to love with the right kind of limits. Uniquely, I offer daytime Walk & Talk therapy sessions that give you both the chance to be present in exactly where you are and the space to be exactly who you were meant to be. Telehealth options are also available day & night and all year long. Trust me, you already have the courage to succeed in this thing that we call life. You just need an expert facilitator who knows what balanced strategies will produce growth that you can tangibly see, feel, and appreciate. I help you achieve just that and reach your full potential so that, finally, you can enjoy your life. Once and for all. Specialties: My clients learn how to manage parent-child interactions, build relational trust, cope with trauma & attachment issues, conquer family conflict, sustain healthy relationships, navigate life transitions, manage stress, and grow through infertility challenges, grief processing, and chronic illness issues. They find balance in a remarkably fulfilling way as they reach their full potential. Credentials & Experience: I have over 10 years experience facilitating growth. My training as a developmental psychologist informs how I understand people across the lifespan but my day-to-day work is grounded in the practice of therapy — supporting adults, parents, couples, and families in finding balance and fulfillment.
"Drawing on strength-based approaches that include humanistic, ecological, psychodynamic, and emotionally-focused therapy techniques, I am particularly helpful to clients who hope to internalize that... You Are Strong. You Are Worthy. You Deserve To Enjoy Your Life."
