About Us

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated or misunderstood? Do you ever feel exhausted or resentful from trying to make sure everyone else is happy, trying not to rock the boat and putting your own needs last? Are you a high-achiever who has met all the qualifications and still feels nagging self-doubt? If you want to feel safer and more comfortable in your interactions with others, I would like to help you understand your emotions and improve balance and connection in your relationships. My therapy style is open, warm and collaborative, and I create space for you to feel truly accepted, present and hopeful. , Utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions, together we can “re-wire” negative thoughts and get you “un-stuck” from problematic patterns. This helps foster self-acceptance, self-compassion and enhances well-being. If you want to accelerate your healing, I can give you exercises and resources tailored to reinforce what is discovered in sessions. , My experience living in and working with military and Foreign Service communities provides me unique insight to help people work through transitional issues. I have extensive experience helping people identify and build on their strengths, which helps them improve relationships, build skills to cope with future challenges and feel more confident overall.
