As A Parent Your child is the most important thing in your life but you feel like they’re stuck. Your child is talented, creative, and smart but you’re noticing a pattern of behavior. Teachers, Coaches, school Counselors, the pediatrician, and pastors are recommending counseling for your child. You feel embarrassed and ashamed but you will do whatever it takes to help them. You’ve noticed some broken pieces. You’ve tried to put them back together but it’s getting worse.

Parenting your teen has nearly destroyed you. Their anger, depression, and self-destruction has devastated your entire family. Most days, you're barely hanging on by a thread. Your instinct is to protect, yet nothing you do seems to help. You feel alone and helpless. You're obsessing, hovering, and constantly questioning their state of mind. "What does she have to be depressed about?" "I don't understand; he has everything he needs." "Why would they do that?" You're expected to remain strong and contain your worst fears as you watch them unravel in self-defeat.

Are you feeling weighed down by past negative experiences, unable to fully embrace the present? Life's journey can be complex, and sometimes the weight of the past can hinder our ability to move forward. Whether you're struggling with the aftermath of a specific stressful event or navigating the complexities of ongoing emotional distress, therapy can be a powerful tool for transformation. By confronting and processing your negative experiences in a safe and supportive environment, you can break free from the grip of the past and embrace a brighter future.

My main focus is to provide you with a non-judgmental clinical space to process feelings, discover your authentic self, and heal.

Hello. I am so glad you are here. This is a big step. Life is hard. Parenting is hard. Being in relationship is hard. Being in the world is hard. I want to help you. Are you a parent? A trauma survivor? A human? You are not alone. We all struggle sometimes. You are vulnerable, and reaching out for help is scary. I am here to walk next to you on this journey. I work with kids, teens, couples, trauma, families on their fertility journey, parents struggling with depression and/or anxiety, parents with poop/ spit up/ this morning’s breakfast/ coffee stains on their sweatpants. As a parent, I get it. As a therapist, I want to help.

Life can be stressful. On the outside, it may seem like you have it all together, yet on the inside you may feel trapped in a web of worry, frustration, sadness, or insecurity. Whether you’re faced with a life-changing event, a loss, or struggling with daily life stressors that overwhelm you, please know that you don't have to feel alone. I provide clients with a judgement-free space to discuss their feelings openly so that they may feel heard. My focus is helping clients learn positive coping skills to manage anxiety, loss, sadness, life transitions, improve their self-confidence, and learn to set healthy boundaries for themselves.

For the first time in our lifetime, we are experiencing a global pandemic with implications for added stressors and changes in our lives. During this difficult time, I can help with the stress, sadness, fear, and anxiety that surrounds the uncertainty. Living in distress is neither healthy nor desirable. As a clinical psychologist I can help address your felt distress. Together, we can conquer what is troubling you.

I believe, that most people are capable of experiencing change if given the opportunity, support, and motivation in order to achieve their personal goals. My warm approach with client's is encouraging, inclusive and collaborative. I tailor therapy sessions wtih therapeutic interventions based on the needs of each individual, using multiple evidenced based therapies and practices. I work with adults, children, teens and their families virtually or in the office. I additionally offer a specialization serving the 0-5 age population, and provide parenting support and parent groups for children birth-12 years of age.

Are you feeling disconnected? Stressed, anxious, tired, or angry? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more frustrating or overwhelming than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. And even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you--it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.
