Is your pre-teen or teen-age child unusually irritable, withdrawn, sad, angry or tearful? Teens will often open up to therapists when they don't talk to parents. If your teen is refusing school, or not enjoying life, s/he may be struggling with anxiety or depression, inadequate social skills, bullies, feeling different, sexual identity, parental divorce, or body image worries. I offer a warm, nurturing and safe environment for adolescents to share their feelings and start to feel better about themselves. I enjoy helping adolescents and parents find their way during these difficult times.

Without access to our emotions, life feels like sailing without a rudder. Maybe you feel anxious or depressed most days, are unsatisfied in your close relationships, engage in behaviors that you wish you didn’t, or feel like life just isn’t going in the direction you hoped. Though you were born with the ability to experience all of the wonderful human emotions, somewhere along the line, you might have been given good reason not to trust or listen to them.

It is important to understand the root causes of one's difficulties before wasting time and money on unsuccessful interventions. Proper assessment and diagnosis are the first step in understanding the most effective treatments and research-based recommendations at home and school.

I understand that life is hard. I view mental health from a medical lens, which includes mind, body and spirit. When you catch a cold, you support the immune system and medicate the symptoms. When we encounter challenging life circumstances like a new role as a parent or a caregiver, a loss, or an opportunity- the learning curve is steep. As a therapist, I work to understand the what, with empathy and respect. I work collaboratively, validating and acknowledging the resources available, whether they are within you or in reach. If you are feeling trapped, stuck, helpless/hopeless in your circumstances, I want to help find a way out.

I am thankful for the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling, but are still able to allow me the privilege of assisting with their healing. I strongly believe that a central element to healing is the therapeutic relationship. This relationship is made primary in treatment to provide safety and the space necessary to process one's pain. It is the combination of a strong therapeutic relationship and the emotional space it affords, that allows significant healing to occur.
