Individual Therapy
The best way out is always through
- Robert Frost
​
I help teens, young adults, and adults navigate life’s transitions and challenges by offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore personal struggles and develop strategies and tools for growth and healing.
I use both Internal Family Systems and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in my work with individuals. Internal Family Systems (IFS) was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz and is a gentle, evidence based, non-pathologizing form of psychotherapy. IFS has incredible healing capabilities that can be transformative. You will learn that there are no bad parts of you, only parts that have served to protect you from deeper wounds or pain. At the core of each individual lies and inner knowing and core Self that once tuned into, can help a person to see themselves through a more loving lens, so they can truly heal.
Parent Guidance
Support and Guidance for Every Stage
of Parenting ​
​
Parenthood is amazing, and also one of the most meaningful and challenging roles we take on. There is no one-size-fits-all guide, and even the most devoted parents can feel unsure or overwhelmed at times. Whether you're facing sleep issues, behavioral concerns, school struggles, or complex family dynamics, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
When we begin working together, I take a holistic and thoughtful approach. We will explore not only your child’s behaviors, but also the full context of your family system. This includes how stress, communication patterns, and transitions may be influencing your child’s emotional and behavioral world. Together, we will develop practical, compassionate strategies that align with your child’s developmental needs and your parenting goals.
​​
I often incorporate the work of Jennifer Kolari, founder of Connected Parenting, whose model emphasizes the importance of making an emotional connection to a child before correcting their behavior. This aligns with my belief that children respond best when they feel seen, heard, and understood. Attuned listening, empathy, and structure can lay the foundation for long-term growth and closeness.
Parent guidance can be ongoing or short-term depending on your needs. I also offer focused support around key developmental stages, including early motherhood, sleep challenges, potty training, and managing emotional outbursts. I also collaborate with teachers, schools, and other care providers to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals.
My role is to help you feel more confident, less alone, and better equipped to support your child with understanding and compassion.
Couples Therapy
All relationships are an endless dance of Harmony, Disharmony, and Repair - Terry Real ​
​
Relationships can be a source of deep joy, connection, and growth, but they also take intention, effort, and vulnerability. In my work with couples, I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT), an approach developed by Terry Real. Unlike traditional therapies where the therapist remains neutral, in RLT I take a more engaged role. I speak directly to both partners, helping identify harmful patterns and name truths that might be hard to hear. RLT is based on the idea that many relationship struggles stem from what Real calls "losing strategies" which are things we do to protect ourselves that ultimately create more distance. These might include shutting down, blaming, controlling, or withdrawing. Together, we’ll uncover those patterns and replace them with tools for authentic connection, emotional responsibility, and relational integrity.
​
I will help you develop better communication, understand your own and your partner’s needs more clearly, and learn how to truly show up for each other in lasting and meaningful ways.
Whether you’re in crisis, stuck in the same arguments, or simply wanting to grow closer, couples therapy can be the space where new possibilities emerge.
Supervision for Clinicians: Supervision, Support and Mentorship
​
I offer supervision and mentorship for clinicians and students. During supervision I will help you navigate challenges so that you can provide responsible care, and make informed decisions about your clinical work. ​​
