Women often experience many transitions throughout life—shaped by personal choices, relationships, family roles, career paths, and unexpected circumstances. These experiences can be further complicated by societal expectations and oppressive narrative models that shape how women are told they should think, feel, and behave. Navigating these pressures alone can feel overwhelming. I support women who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and everyday stressors.

Couples struggle. Let's normalize that as a fact. As a partner in a couple and as part of a couple system, we don't always know how to navigate these struggles in ways that don't trigger our own maladaptive patterns from our families of origin or patterns that once served the relationship but increase conflict and distance rather than decrease it.

The counseling space should be a safe place for relationships of any kind (Polyamorous, Open, and Kink) to navigate communication struggles, unclear boundaries, and general struggles that can occur with any of our relationships. I am open to counseling any type of relationship and eager help an often unseen population.

Drawing from family-based and experiential approaches, I help families identify patterns that may be creating distance or misunderstanding and guide them toward healthier communication, stronger connections, and a deeper sense of safety within the family system. My goal is to create a space where every voice can be heard and where families can work together to build more supportive and authentic relationships.

I use an eclectic approach, drawing from multiple therapeutic models to best meet the needs of each person, couple, or family I work with. Because every situation is unique, therapy should not be one-size-fits-all. By integrating different perspectives and techniques, I tailor the process to support your goals, encourage insight, and promote meaningful, lasting change.

Narrative therapy explores the stories we carry about ourselves and our lives. These stories are often shaped by family experiences and societal expectations that can limit how we see ourselves. Together, we examine these narratives, separate you from the problem, and work to rewrite the story in ways that highlight your strengths, resilience, and ability to create meaningful change.
