About

Hello! I am a couple and family therapist who enjoys working with adolescents, parents, and families. I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to therapy and believe that I have a responsibility as a therapist to create a safe, supportive, open environment where my clients feel empowered to take an active role in the therapy process. I work with my adolescent and family clients to address behavioral, emotional, and relational issues and facilitate positive change. To do this, I focus on patterns within and across generations of families, the balance between connectedness and individuality, and increasing an individual’s ability to cope with and tolerate stress. I regularly include art, music, storytelling, and games in my work with children and families to help children to feel comfortable in therapy and connect what happens in therapy to the children’s’ home and school lives.

My other areas of expertise and interest include trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, life transitions, identity formation, and communication. I am certified in Gottman Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2, have completed SafeZone LGBTQ Ally training, and have obtained advanced training in perinatal mood disorders. When I am not working with clients, I enjoy discovering new music, reading, cooking, visiting museums, and spending time with my husband and hound-mix dog.
