Therapy is an interesting thing - many people have preconceived notions of what therapy is or should be. Therapy, to me, is simple. You have some issues in your life that are bothering you - maybe you feel down, maybe you can't get your relationships to work. Everything that you've tried hasn't been helpful or, ultimately, hasn't gotten you where you want to be. That's where I come in. I can help you pick up your issue, turn it to an angle that maybe you haven't seen yet, and brainstorm new ways to address it.

As a child psychologist and a parent (myself), I love working with families. I can appreciate the difficulties of parenting, but as I child psychologist I understand child-related difficulties as they apply to academics inside and out. I currently work part-time for a local school district so I am up-to-date with any school-related practices (e.g., distance learning, IEPs, 504s, etc.). I love being able to resolve child-related concerns via psychoeducational evaluations and providing parents with a "road map" so their child gets what they need to be most successful.

My primary goal is to offer a safe and caring environment where clients will be able to work through problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In doing so, the journey of healing and growth begins. I prefer to utilize a holistic approach to counseling, incorporating various treatment methods into my practice depending upon the needs of each client. As a result, individuals are able to heal from deep rooted issues and trauma. I offer a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation in order for clients to learn more about my approach to counseling and get a sense for my particular style. I also offer evening appointments.

My goal is to help every client lead a more fulfilling life. Throughout my life, I have experienced a journey of self-exploration and growth that led me to transition from the corporate world to my passion, counseling. I am inspired to help others discover their best self by gaining insight into thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of reaching their full potential. By engaging in self-exploration through the process of therapy, we can improve how we feel about ourselves which translates into a healthier and happier life for ourselves and those close to us.

Feeling heard and understood is an important experience in therapy. Within a non-judgmental and supportive environment, my clients increase personal insight and explore new ways of understanding current situations. In addition to increasing personal awareness, our work might focus on ways to respond differently in challenging situations causing stress. My practice is ideal for those interested in a depth-oriented therapy that goes beyond symptom focus and looks to integrate and enrich self-understanding to create healthy, adaptive narratives about oneself and one's situation.

Life can be unpredictable at times and it’s always okay to ask for help. Therapy can help explore skills to help manage life in all its ups and downs.

My approach is to allow clients to enter a safe environment, gain trust in themselves, and live their true authentic lives. I enjoy using a holistic approach.

Fast-paced lifestyles (ever changing, unpredictable) can leave us desiring calmness and serenity. Everyone deserves a life that is fulfilling and to feel empowered. An individual should feel that they have the ability to change their circumstances and lead a life with less worry and stress. Adolescents and young adults have different worries and stressors and are often searching for a sense of self. Helping them understand that feelings and emotions are real and worthy is an important part of growth and development.
