Major life changes can leave you feeling unsteady even when they are necessary or ultimately positive. A divorce, career transition, new baby, relationship shift, family conflict, or other unexpected change can disrupt routines, identities, and relationships that once felt familiar. You may know intellectually that you will get through it while still feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.

I work with adults, couples, and parents navigating significant transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, separation and divorce, parenting stress, and workplace or career concerns. My goal is to help you better understand what is happening beneath the surface while also developing practical ways to cope with what is happening right now. Therapy can be a place to strengthen resilience, make sense of painful patterns, and begin responding to difficult circumstances with greater clarity and confidence.

My clinical approach is grounded in attachment theory, with an emphasis on emotional safety, connection, and understanding how earlier relationships can shape the way we experience ourselves and others today. Together, we may explore the relational patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses that continue to influence your relationships and decisions. I also incorporate skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, communicate more effectively, and navigate difficult situations without becoming overwhelmed by them.

For couples and individuals facing separation or divorce, I bring extensive experience helping clients navigate both the emotional and practical complexity of major relationship transitions. Some clients are trying to repair a strained relationship; others are trying to determine what comes next or how to move through a separation in a healthier way. I work collaboratively to help clients reduce destructive patterns, communicate more clearly, establish healthier boundaries, and make thoughtful decisions for themselves and their families.

I also have significant experience working with parents, including new parents adjusting to the demands and identity changes that accompany parenthood. In addition, my earlier careers in law and financial services give me a particular understanding of professional pressure, workplace conflict, leadership demands, and major career decisions. I work with professionals and executives who may appear highly capable on the outside while privately struggling with stress, uncertainty, relationship strain, or questions about the direction of their lives.

I have also completed training through The Family Peace Initiative and remain committed to supporting individuals and families affected by domestic violence. When safety is a concern, therapy must begin with careful attention to each client’s circumstances, needs, and well-being.
