My Approach to Therapy

Are you in your 20s or 30s and struggling to understand why relationships keep failing or why your job is depleting? Are you in your 30s or 40s and experiencing overwhelm from the constant demands of motherhood or did you choose a childfree life and are feeling judgment or isolation? Are you high-achieving or perfectionistic and struggling to find peace in your life? Maybe youre just struggling with the existential questions and wondering what the meaning of all of this is. I provide online person-focused therapy that allows you to feel seen, heard, and understood - all in the comfort of your home. I love doing the deep work that helps you better understand yourself and empowers you to create the life you want.

My Practice & Services

Psychotherapy offers a space for emotional processing that leads to increased insight and awareness. I love helping clients have those a-ha moments that allow them to connect the dots and understand their reactions and behavior patterns. Anxiety might be something youve struggled with for years, and it has impacted your life choices. Anxiety might also be something you are new to experiencing, and it seems to be connected to a specific life stressor. Through therapy, you will gain coping skills and an improved understanding of yourself. Whether youre facing a job change, communication struggles, conflict or dissatisfaction in a relationship, panic and overwhelm, or just stress, we can work together to help you gain perspective and practical tools for navigating it. I also have a billing team that can verify if insurance covers this service for you and let you know what your co-pay or co-insurance cost might be prior to the first session. Please reach out to see if we are in network with your insurance provider. For those who do not want to use insurance, I also offer private pay.
