Navigating motherhood, career burnout, or a breakup can evoke anxiety, grief, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening and decide what comes next.

Life Transitions

In our 30s and 40s, major life changes bring a mix of emotions that can be difficult to process alone. These transitions stir up grief, uncertainty and questions about how to move forward.

  • The demands of motherhood are incredibly high, often leaving women feeling stretched thin, anxious, overwhelmed, and wondering if they're somehow falling short. As a mother of two kids myself, I know how easy it is to feel like you have lost parts of yourself and question how you will keep moving through the day to day overwhelm, while still taking care of yourself and raising adjusted kids.

    Therapy can offer a space to put down some of the weight you've been carrying, reconnect with yourself, and find practical ways to care for your own well-being while caring for those you love.

  • Are you questioning the American success script about what a meaningful life is supposed to look like? Did you once love your work, but over time begun to notice the toll it’s taking on your time, health, relationships, and enjoyment of life? I often hear, “I can’t just leave this job because it pays well/I should just be grateful that I have a job/ I want my job to have meaning but I don’t know where to start.” I’ve worked with many women who have dedicated years of their time, energy, and identity to their careers and find themselves at a crossroads — wanting their lives to feel more fulfilling and balanced but are unsure how to navigate the path forward.

  • Have you discovered your partner has been living a double life, or that they decided to end the relationship without ever truly talking about it, leaving you blindsided and trying to piece together what was real? Or maybe, you’ve been afflicted with the grief that comes with choosing to end a relationship, knowing it was the right decision and still feeling heartbroken.

    Breakups are rarely just about losing a partner—they often involve losing routines, dreams, plans, and a version of yourself that existed within the relationship.

  • Alongside the overwhelm or grief, we will slowly work toward greater clarity—about what no longer fits, the patterns your nervous system has developed to help you cope, how you want to show up for yourself, and what truly brings a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Therapy can help you make sense of the transition, find your footing in the next chapter, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom. Together, we explore not just what is changing, but who you are becoming. Over time, the transition becomes less something to survive and more something to integrate and find true joy in.

Dating

Modern dating is harder than ever. You have a great circle of friends, a successful career and enjoy your own company, yet you can’t figure out why it’s so hard to find a committed partner. The desire to meet someone feels overwhelming and hopeless.

  • Dating today can feel exhausting, confusing, and overwhelming. Societal and internal pressure asks women to compromise themselves in order to find a partner. Instead, what you need are skills for how to date with clarity and confidence. We’re saying goodbye to situationships and welcoming partners that are compatible for a long term partnership.

  • We’ll unpack internalized myths like “all the good partners are taken” or “I must be doing something wrong.” Together, we look at how these narratives impact your choices, self-trust, and relationship patterns — and help you build a mindset rooted in self-respect rather than fear or scarcity.

    In our work together, we will:

    • Clarify what you’re truly looking for in a partner and relationship

    • Identify patterns that keep showing up in your dating life

    • Work through fears of rejection, vulnerability, and intimacy

    • Build confidence and reduce anxiety around dating

    • Develop healthier standards and stronger discernment

    • Recognize red flags early and choose more aligned partners

    • Navigate modern dating in a way that protects your time and energy

    • Get creative in building opportunities to meet people in real life

Relationship Ambiguity

It’s exhausting to care deeply while feeling unsure if you want to continue in this relationship or not. You’re pulled in different directions and fear regret in your choice.

  • You are torn in your relationship, not because something is obviously wrong, but because something doesn’t fully feel right either. You love your partner and at the same time cycle through periods of doubt, guilt and overthinking. You wonder if you’re being too picky or if you’re settling, worn down by the uncertainty about whether or not to continue your relationship. This can happen with a romantic partner or a friendship.

    • Chronic mental looping

    • A sense that life is on hold

    • Guilt about possibly hurting your partner

    • Fear of making the wrong decision

    • A sense of loneliness within the relationship

    • A gradual erosion of your identity

  • I help you slow things down enough to separate fear from intuition, habit from desire, and external pressure from internal truth.

    Together, we’ll understand what’s driving the ambivalence and sort through whether this relationship has room for committed growth or if there is a genuine misalignment. We’ll identify what you’ve already tried within the relationship and explore how dynamics from past relationships may be influencing this one, so you can decide how you want to move forward — with honesty, intention, and self-respect.

Couples Therapy

You feel like you can’t go another day in your disconnected relationship. It’s holding you back from living fully and freely. Therapy is a place to slow things down, understand the patterns fueling your dynamic and build communication skills so you can move forward with harmony.

  • The fights, the silence, and the betrayals are creating a sense of chaos and strain. You might be asking yourselves, how did we get here, and is it possible to come out the other side intact and happy?

    First, we’ll look at how your individual histories and protective patterns show up between you, especially in moments of tension or disconnection. Then we can move into how you relate to each other in the moment, and where you get stuck with each other. That’s when things begin to make more sense.

    I enjoy work with intercultural and interracial couples to strengthen connection while navigating differences in culture, identity, communication, and family expectations.

    • Navigate conflict more effectively

    • Feel more emotionally and physically connected

    • Understand the roles each partner plays in shaping their dynamic

    • Feel confident in their ability to repair when things go off track

    • Build meaning and shared rituals within their relationship

  • My approach is both compassionate and practical. I blend insight-oriented work with concrete tools that you can use right away. I am a Level 2 trained Gottman therapist, and I integrate approaches from Relational Life Therapy and the work of Esther Perel.

    After our first session, you’ll complete the Gottman Relationship Questionnaire.

    Along with what I learn about your history and relationship dynamics in our first meeting, I’ll provide a personalized written summary that highlights your strengths as a couple and areas for growth. This also gives me a chance to fully understand what you’d like to focus on.

Premarital Therapy

Getting married is exciting, meaningful, and often more emotionally complex than people expect.

The woman has light skin, long wavy brown hair, wearing a yellow sweater, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Several pillows in various colors are on the sofa.

  • Premarital therapy lays a foundation for the transition into married life and the rituals that mark it.

    The pressure of planning a wedding might be leading to intense fights, or you’re feeling overwhelmed by in-law dynamics that are creating conflict and distance between you. Perhaps, you simply want to create a strong starting point by talking about topics that are often swept under the rug.

    • Conflict resolution and problem solving

    • Effective communication 

    • Financial goals and expectations

    • Household roles and responsibilities 

    • Sexual and emotional expectations 

    • Alignment in future goals 

    • Parenting expectations

    • Navigating cultural differences 

    • Family dynamics with in-laws

  • After our first session, you’ll complete the Gottman Relationship Questionnaire. Combined with what I learn about your history and relationship dynamics in our initial meeting, I’ll prepare a personalized written summary outlining your strengths as a couple, growth areas, and the themes emerging in your partnership.  We use this as a roadmap to guide our conversations, allowing us to focus intentionally on what will support a strong, resilient partnership for the future.

Different from traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on analysis, skill-building, and symptoms management, EMDR relies on the brain’s natural capacity to heal when the right conditions are in place using bi-lateral stimulation (eye movement or tapping). If you understand yourself well, yet still feel stuck, EMDR is a proven modality.
