I want my clients to build confidence that they can manage the ebb and flows of stress or emotional overwhelm on their own.
Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or feel a burden you can't quite relieve. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes our healing. The development of a therapeutic relationship and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

There is always hope for you, your child, or your family. Life is full of growth, and sometimes struggling is a part of that process, but it’s especially painful to have a child go through a tough time. If you or your child are struggling with fear, sadness, socializing, family/relationship concerns, behavioral changes or stress then I am available to provide a supportive and compassionate atmosphere to help you move forward.

My specialties include: anger management, anxiety, depression, communication, family dynamics, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship stressors, and stress.
Seeking therapy can be a challenging step, because opening up about intimate issues to a stranger is both terrifying, brave, and can leave you feeling vulnerable. That's why it's important to find somebody with whom you feel comfortable. It is my priority to make you feel at ease, because reaching your goal is more difficult when this is not at the foundation of the therapeutic experience. This approach has enabled me to work with a wide array of teens, adults, couples, and families.

They seek to know themselves more or to feel more whole. They seek to unlearn unconscious and unhelpful habits. They wish to grow and nurture their relationships with others and themselves. They desire to feel more at peace, joy, and be able to tolerate the challenges.
