About

Looking to clarify expectations, needs, and wants in your relationship? Looking to help your child navigate worries, adjustments, and emotional regulation difficulties?I work with couples who are navigating the balance of holding onto their individual identity while embracing their relational identity with their partner. Sessions focus on providing psychoeducation and interventions around attachment, identity, vulnerability, communication, trust, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. I also love working with children ages 8-12 who are navigating emotional regulation difficulties and anxiety symptoms.

I am a down to earth, warm, yet direct therapist who strives to make you feel heard, seen, and validated for your experience. I provide understanding for clients as to why behaviors or patterns might be occurring as I believe it is very important to know why the behaviors are occurring in order to prevent the patterns from resurfacing.

After providing empathy and understanding for the situations occurring, I then begin to challenge clients to implement learned skills and techniques to reach goals. I believe understanding the context in which a client lives is imperative as this will guide what treatment, skills, and techniques will work in their particular family or environment.
