Being a new parent can be exciting, scary, and overwhelming. I can help in figuring it all out. Major life transitions can make communication with your partner challenging. You may find yourself feeling troubled and anxious as you sort out moving to a new place, getting used to a new job, experiencing the loss of a loved one, or entering parenthood.
I provide individual and family counseling to support all of life transitions. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where both laughter and tears are welcome. Working together, you will learn skills and find ways to help yourself when your world feels turned around.
By focusing on your strengths, we will work together to heal, grow and learn.

I use a combination of contemplative psychotherapy—which uses Buddhist concepts of compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness—and cognitive psychotherapy which helps us change unhelpful thought and belief patterns. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, postpartum issues, trouble during stressful transitions, and “stuck points” in life. I see adults and couples. Most insurance accepted and sliding scale can be considered. Free 20min consultation.
