I am eager to help individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, couples, and family therapy settings. Since everyone is unique, I know that each client who sits on my couch (or my virtual screen) will need something different and will have different goals for therapy, and my flexible therapeutic approach lends way for that. Above all else, I am passionate about providing my clients with a listening ear and a safe atmosphere to explore who they are and who they want to be.

My focus of treatment includes individuals, couples, parents and family work for teens, adults and older adults.
We are currently living in a challenging time. The unprecedented demands of living through the COVID-19 pandemic; "shelter-in-place," social isolation, altered work & education via ZOOM, financial hardship, and more, has left many people experiencing new emotional struggles. The experience of loss due to sickness and death of loved ones, friends, or coworkers, has also created a sense of "emotional overload" for many. Talking to a compassionate professional can help you get through this difficult period. I am available to help you navigate these uncharted waters, as you seek to "land" on solid ground.

Sometimes it is hard to identify what is causing those feelings or how to feel happy and healthy in the environments that are contributing to your feelings. Using a strengths based approach, I can help you develop stronger coping skills, build resiliency, improve relationships, communication, and overall well being. By using a strengths based approach, an individualized treatment plan is developed to best suit the client's therapy goals.

I specialize in adolescents and teens, but I also have experience working with adults.
We all struggle sometimes. Life can be unpredictable and it's ok to not feel "ok". Anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses can occur, whether biologically or due to life events, and it's ok to ask for help. It is human nature to seek happiness and wellness, and sometimes we need a little help and guidance to get there.

With sincere compassion and authenticity, I help children and young adults manage their anxiety when it gets to be too much for them to handle it on their own.
Sometimes it can be really difficult to manage what life throws at you. It’s not easy being a child or a young adult. There are stressors you find yourself having to deal with that you thought you would never have to deal with. Students in school may be getting to you, responsibilities of daily life can be overwhelming, you feel lonely, angry, sad or whatever it may be that can really impact your overall mood and day to day living. Even for those of you who are older and may be past those issues, there are still adjustments in your life that you are having to deal with that feel unmanageable!
