About
Anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt can quietly shape your days - sometimes holding you back in obvious ways, other times showing up as overthinking, overwhelm, or disconnection from yourself or others. I help clients uncover the root of fear, increase self-awareness, and build confidence in navigating life’s transitions. My specialties include anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, identity exploration, family-of-origin conflict, and challenges related to motherhood and parenting. Together, we clarify what you want and create steps toward a life that feels aligned and grounded. View 8 Photos My approach to couples therapy mirrors my individual work: you are the expert on your relationship. I create a balanced, validating space where both partners feel heard. I specialize in communication issues, intimacy concerns, mismatched desire, conflict patterns, and relationship stagnation, offering practical tools to strengthen connection and trust.
