About the Therapist

As a therapist, I provide a safe and accepting place for clients to explore various areas in their lives, while maintaining clear direction and remaining goal-oriented. I strongly believe that not only is it important to feel validation and empathy from me (which my clients certainly experience!), but also that a client should see and feel tangible progress through the work done together.

With my trainings in psychology, life coaching, narrative therapy, and social work, I aim to take an eclectic approach in working with clients. Although I primarily operate from an insight-based model (such as through IFS), I reach into my toolbox for various other, more directive approaches (such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT) when necessary.

In the past, I worked extensively with adolescent girls for close to a decade, involving parents and the family in a supportive way. I specialized in treating women with issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I enjoy working with single women who are experiencing difficulties in dating for marriage, helping them to identify their blocks and providing greater insight.

Today, my practice is primarily women and couples who are struggling in the transition to married life and the myriad challenges that may arise therein find validation and tools in my office. This includes healthy communication with a spouse, and struggles with infertility, miscarriages, and stillbirths.

I work collaboratively, and view you, the client, as an expert on your own life. I would be honored to join you in your process of self-discovery, as I navigate our journey with sensitivity and care.
