When working with children and adolescents, I believe in their caregivers being a part of the process in order to make significant and meaningful changes within the family system.
Allowing yourself to experience self-compassion in all aspects of life can be profoundly important and not something that is usually taught in our society. I believe in teaching self compassion and self-love at a young age in order to have a more positive self-image and allowing more self-confidence to take place. I am passionate about empowering individuals and their families to find their voices in order to make the changes they want to make. Bringing compassion, empathy, and a multi-modality therapeutic approach allows for all of my clients and their families to feel empowered to make significant positive changes in their lives.

Although my specialty is working with children, I also enjoy working with individuals, families, and teens.
You are a courageous person! If you have come this far in your search for support, this is what I have found to be true: you have tried every strategy you know to find relief from whatever is troubling you. It is painful to keep watching the people you love struggle. NOW is the time to talk with someone who can offer you new strategies to help you through a difficult phase. TODAY is the day that someone joins you on your journey and holds hope.

I work Psychodynamically with individuals, age 12 on up, addressing issues of grief, hopelessness, life crisis, anger, fear, child abuse recovery, chronic or terminal illness; Couples desiring better communication, sex, healing trauma or considering divorce; and families (traditional and blended) seeking stronger bonds, less conflict, improved behavior and united parenting.
Many people come to me with prior experiences of therapy that were not helpful. This happens for many reasons but sometimes it's as simple as it wasn't the right fit. A wise mentor explained that "all human growth and healing takes place in the context of relationship, from infancy on". Therapy is a relationship of growth, change, healing. Many people are driven to therapy because of suffering in current or past relationship. Often the most challenging and hurtful relationship we have is the one with one's self. The "right" therapist is one that makes moving through this vulnerable process possible and bearable.
