Relationship Issues 

Despite what social media depicts, no one has the perfect relationship. Sometimes couples need a mediator to help them truly hear each other. In addition, people also need help through therapy to see if their relationship choices are healthy for them. My training in object relations along with other approaches is what makes therapy with me unique.

Life's Adjustments: Big or Small

Life will throw you a curveball. No one is exempt from this fact. Sometimes you need support when going through times of adjustment, whether it is a divorce or the death of a loved one or going to college. I’m here to help. Be heard. Feel Better.

Women's Health: Postpartum Depression

You look forward to being a mom. However, once the test is positive, there is a flood of emotions. Am I ready? Do I even like kids? Is my partner ready? Then the baby comes and another wave of emotions sweeps over, plus hormones. Or perhaps you are struggling with infertility and it’s impacting your relationship. Or you lost a baby and everyone says, “Oh don’t worry, you can try again” Miscarriage is a death and the grief is real. Wouldn't it be nice to talk about this without judgment? I can assist you.

Feeling Stagnant and Stuck

Do you feel like there is a wet blanket over you? Do you feel like you procrastinate and cannot get tasks done? These can be signs of depression. If you are not sure if you are depressed, I can help through a standard, quick evidence-based questionnaire—and we’ll go from there.

Family issues, Parenting and Co-parenting

It can be difficult if your partner's parenting style is different from yours. No one has fully productive discussions about parenting styles in advance because we can't be sure what parenting style fits until becoming parents. Different parenting styles can cause friction. I am trained in family systems theory along with MST to help support families during stressful times. I also am trained in object relations theory. Sometimes you just need a mediator.

Grief and Loss

Most of us will experience this in our lifetime.There are five stages of grief and they are not linear. I understand people go through the different stages at in their own way. What not everyone knows is there are four tasks in mourning which we can tackle together. The death of a loved one is the number one stressor in a person's life. You do not have to go through the process alone.
