Clients often come to me because they struggle with anxious or depressive symptoms and don't know how to improve. They are often surprised to learn that underlying these symptoms are often seemingly unrelated beliefs and feelings about relationships - particular relationships and relationships in general - that they didn't even know were there. Often clients believe that there is something "wrong" with them and their mental health, not understanding that with the right language to tell their story they often find that they make perfect sense! In addition to relationships and Schema, I also explore personality, values, and goals.

I love to help people improve and strengthen their relationships, or just learn to set healthier boundaries and practice better self-care. I know how important, but also difficult, relationships can be. I have experience with divorce, co-parenting, blending families, being a step-parent, adoptive parent, and biological parent, and the family court system.
I love coming along clients and helping them to explore their life stories and relationships, and giving them new ways of relating to others and themselves. This often leads not only to a decrease in mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression, but also to increased self-awareness, meaning, and hope for a healthier and happier future.
