Let me fall if I must. The one I will become will catch me.

I help adults who feel overwhelmed in their relationships, weighed down by confusion, grief, or trauma, or who long to truly understand who they are. My approach is to listen carefully, guiding you toward the emotional knots that keep you stuck or prevent you from living fully. Together, we'll gently and safely explore—and begin untying—the experiences, relationships, and themes that have deeply affected you.
Understanding your personal story—recognizing who and what has shaped you, clarifying your core beliefs, and identifying your true needs—creates a powerful roadmap. With this clarity, you'll become empowered to accept yourself, clearly articulate your boundaries, and make intentional choices. Instead of simply reacting to life's challenges, you'll be able to live the life you truly want.
Stepfamilies often face unique challenges that go unseen and unsupported—not just by society but even within the mental health community. As a stepmother myself, I understand firsthand the complexity, vulnerability, and emotional intensity of stepfamily life. Combining this personal insight with extensive professional experience and research, I offer stepfamily members genuine understanding, compassionate support, and practical tools to navigate these intricate relationships with confidence and clarity. I see you, I know how hard this can be, and I'm here to help you find your way.
I offer clinical supervision for mental health professionals seeking thoughtful, practical guidance in their psychodynamic work with individuals. My expertise focuses on two specialized areas: complex trauma and stepfamily dynamics. In supervision, I provide specialized knowledge and professional expertise, encourage thoughtful exploration of your therapeutic work process, and help identify potential areas of entanglement between you and your clients. My style is approachable, direct, and exploratory, creating a supportive environment where insightful questions and open dialogue facilitate your growth. Together, we'll clarify boundaries, enhance your self-awareness, and strengthen your capacity to engage authentically and effectively in your clinical practice.
All services are conducted via telehealth; Phone or Zoom.
