I have extensive experience and training using evidence-based treatments including Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Couple’s Therapy. I also use insight-oriented approaches, as I believe present patterns cannot be understood without delving into the past. Though these approaches all provide a good framework and I rely on empirical support; everyone is unique and my approach is tailored to each individual and couple accordingly.

I bring personality and humor into my sessions, and I am direct yet warm and empathetic. I draw from professional experience with a diverse range of clients as well as lived experience being a child of divorce, going through a divorce myself, solo parenting, and exploring alternative relationship structures. I challenge clients to think about things differently and gently nudge toward change; I know it is hard to deviate from current patterns of behavior, but things are unlikely to improve if we don’t leave our comfort zone. Our mental and physical health is heavily correlated with healthy relationships (of all kinds), so I encourage putting in the work to improve them. This requires authenticity and vulnerability, and that can be tough! I promise to support and encourage you along the way. Let me help you work toward a rich and fulfilling life- whatever that might look like.

Let’s see if we are a good fit! I love what I do and would be honored to work with you!
