One of my passions is working with women struggling with depression, anxiety, and the myriad challenges associated with raising families. The experience is not always what people anticipate – instead of joy, there is worry, insecurity, and overwhelm. By providing research-based techniques, I help normalize these common experiences and improve clients' sense of wellness. I hope to provide you with relief from suffering, harmony in your relationships, and joyful attunement with your children.

The impact of childhood trauma can leave you feeling confused by relationship dynamics, overwhelmed by your emotional responses, and challenged by your efforts to break the cycle. In order to conduct yourself in a way that aligns with your values, we need to understand the impact of your family's dynamics. This improved awareness will help you identify triggers so that you can respond in a healthy way that aligns with the vision of the person you want to be. You are resilient!

Anxiety is exhausting! If you're constantly working to keep your worries in check and find yourself easily flustered and overwhelmed - maybe even the point of panic attacks - you are not alone. There are many research-backed techniques we will implement in order to find the right fit for your specific circumstances. We can control panic attacks, stop spiraling thoughts, and work together on making decisions that lead you into the future you imagine for yourself.

Much of what we analyze in treatment is centered on relationships - past, present, and self. When we consider how to create change, though, we will rely on techniques such as reframing deeply-held beliefs, stress reduction, and approaching challenges so they feel more manageable. Together we'll try different systems and see what works best. In the meantime, our eye will stay on your core relationships: how they've shaped you, impact you now, and ways to move within them in a healthier manner.

The way we were raised affects how we show up in relationships. If your family of origin relied on unhealthy dynamics, you might find yourself repeating some of those patterns - despite your best efforts. Attachment begins before you're born, and the impacts of problematic relationships can last years. We'll explore who you are in the context of your family, and who you want to be in your relationships today. Small changes can create big ripples that allow you to feel secure and loved.
