As a therapist, I believe that every person is the expert of their own story and personal journey. It is very important to me that co-create a collaborative, trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship with my clients. This type of relationship fosters trust and a willingness for openness that will benefit the therapeutic journey substantially. I place emphasis on strengths and personal expertise that already exists within each and every client, to foster positive self image and confidence. Mindfully tending to our needs and caring for ourselves through compassion promotes acceptance of who we truly are.

Being a teenager is tough. With pressures from school, parents, peers, and social media, it can feel like everyone is judging you. You might think, “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m not attractive enough,” or “Something is wrong with me!” If you feel overwhelmed by expectations and wish you didn’t care what others thought, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there and felt the same way. I help teens like you let go of these expectations and discover who they truly are and who they want to be. If you’re ready to stop trying to be liked by everyone else and start liking yourself so you can be yourself, you’re in the right place!

Along with talk therapy I use mindful movement and creative interventions to allow clients a full range of expression, and a more holistic approach to healing and recovery.
