I focus on parents in both individual and couple settings. Parenting is demanding and nonstop. Once you think you have it figured out, there is always something new, from infants to adult children. It also brings on extra strain in areas such as finances, careers, self-care, and relationships. I like to attune to individual needs, create open dialogue, and work on mending connections.

I came to Flatirons Relationship Center after working in the field for over 15 years in the Midwest and the East Coast. I was attracted to its warm and collaborative therapeutic community that aligns with my own values as a practitioner.

I am trained extensively in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have incorporated Emotionally Focused Therapy modalities into my practice. I have vast experience working with adults with depression and anxiety along with other mental health issues in both individual and couple settings. My work is grounded in looking not at the surface but at the triggers and fears that make us defensive. I bring a clinical mindset to our sessions and explore the past and present in order to create a path for the future.

I'm a fellow parent who understands and knows the unique stressors that come with the job and how that translates with a partner. I like to combine my therapeutic knowledge with the commonality of being a parent and partner providing genuine empathy and understanding. I'm here to listen, help you identify ways to cope, and help you work towards realistic solutions.
