It can be so frustrating when your child is experiencing emotional and behavioral issues. It can often feel like you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I have extensive training and experience with Play Therapy and Family Therapy. This expertise has allowed me to be an integral part of the healing that occurs when both the family and child are given the opportunity to work together on problems in a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering environment.

Struggling with anxiety and/or depression? Trying to navigate and maintain relationships while recalling past trauma? Congratulations, this means you’re normal! While knowing this may not reduce any stress, it’s important to know that the way you are feeling is valid and understandable, and that you are not alone in your struggles. There are so many things in life that negatively impact what we’re thinking and feeling, from past experiences to current pressures and stressors, from traumatic events to personal devastations…and the list goes on.

Congratulations on taking this major step towards seeking a higher quality of life, whether for yourself or a loved one! While many people can identify the source(s) of their concerns, others feel a vague, lingering discontent but have difficulty finding the words to describe what they are seeking. Your concerns require a unique, targeted approach to building goals. Areas of focus might be intentional life reconstruction, blended and bi/multi-cultural families, our LGBTQ communities, helping resolve stress related to grief/loss/trauma, multi-generational ripple effects of mental illness and trauma, and concerns specific to aging.

You thought your life would be figured out by now. But life doesn’t look the way you expected it. No matter how hard you work, nothing you do ever feels good enough. Being stuck in your thoughts paralyzes you with making decisions. You don’t want to make mistakes. To the outside world, it seems like you always have it together. Yet in reality, you constantly feel unsure—as if you're doing life “wrong.” You feel trapped in your mind instead of truly living your life. Battling with your thoughts have left you overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling alone. You know that change begins with you, but you aren't sure how or where to start.

Life presents obstacles, expected and unexpected. These experiences can be tough, especially if you feel there isn't someone you can share with. Even if we have a solid support network, we can face stigma and personal barriers that prevent us from opening up. Therapy can create a safe space to address internal or external conflict, seek personal growth, and restore balance in our lives. I love working with teens, adults, and senior adults. I am most effective with clients presenting with depression & anxiety, grief, life transitions, and family/relational conflict by prioritizing stabilization, managing symptoms, and building hope.

My work focuses on emotional and personal development, where there is space to feel, explore, find insight, and confront challenges. I have special interests in highly sensitive people (HSP) work, couples work, trauma, biracial concerns, and anxiety. I believe therapy is about building a stronger sense of self through empathy, insight and symptom relief. I will be there to provide understanding, support and a different view of the problem that makes progress attainable and installs hope. Therapy provides an opportunity to grow as a person, get through personal struggles including mental illness, and strengthen relationships.
