What Gets Broken in Relationships Gets Healed in Relationships
About Me
While some of us go out and choose a career, I feel like my career chose me. I was made to be a psychologist, with all that it entails — the asking questions, the discovering, the constant striving for growth, and above all, the relationships. I am passionate about therapy and I whole-heartedly enjoy collaborating with people to find their own version of wellness.

MY BACKGROUND
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and a mother of two. While I’ve encountered my fair share of ups and downs in my life, parenthood has offered up the most extreme variations – the intense and all-encompassing joy and awe that coincides with witnessing precious life unfold, as well as the depletion, overwhelm, and monotony that arises when tasked with the job of raising those precious beings. It is a roller-coaster ride complete with the whole range of emotions, and I’m here for the ride!
As a parent and a highly sensitive person (HSP), I’m also no stranger to the burdens of difficult emotions, and I’ve done my own work in trying to better understand where these feelings come from and how to create positive change in my life. I know how scary it is to reach out for help, and the courage it requires to finally take that step out of the shadows. Rest assured, I’ve been “on the other side of the couch.”
I’m the kind of therapist that will ask questions to get you thinking from new perspectives. After I get to know you better, I try and help you connect current patterns to past experiences so that you can better understand why you operate in the ways that you do. Once you understand this, then we can work together to figure out what patterns are working for you and which ones you’d like to change. I help you develop coping skills and strategies to shift your ways of being in the world so they are more aligned with your goals. And together we work to heal any wounds from the past so they no longer hurt you. This is online therapy at its best.
The relationship you create with your therapist is the best predictor of your success. To help you figure out if we might be a good fit, schedule a free 15 minute consultation with me. I look forward to talking with you!
