Do you find yourself going through the motions yet feeling completely checked out? On the outside do you act as if you have all the answers, but on the inside feel like chaos is brewing? This is called a 'functional freeze mode' or burnout described as excessive worry and a lack of desire to do things you once enjoyed. You are able to complete daily tasks yet feel numb and disconnected. As a parent myself, I am all too familiar with the challenges that come with balancing career, marriage and family life. I specialize in working with adults who tend to check out or look for “the quick fix” when facing the stressors of life.

My experience has been primarily with children, families and adults; ages 0-5, suffering from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, phobias, substance use, oppositional defiance, at risk youth for hospitalization, survivors of trauma, families experiencing big changes and parental difficulties.
Do you want to build a stronger connection with your child? Are you concerned you are not able to support your child regulate their emotions? As a family-focused therapist, my goal is to support and foster a positive relationship within your family unit and find ways to support different types of relational connection. I also support adults that struggle to express themselves; "I don't know why I respond like that", unable to meet their emotional needs; "I don't know where to start" and those who find it difficult to connect with others; "I don't have people I can trust or that I can tell this to."

Allow me to guide you through this journey with compassion and a willingness to understand and to connect for both children and adults.
Depression and anxiety can both frightening and overwhelming for children and adults. If you are feeling like you have lost interest in things you used to love, a sense of hopelessness, difficulty falling asleep, feeling empty, wanting to harm yourself, panic attacks, irritable moods we will work together in order to help you have the courage to face your fears and move forward in these uncertain times. Children may not have the words to explain why they feel anxious or sad. They may have angry outbursts or clingy behavior. If any of these sound like you or your child please call me.

I have effectively provided support to individuals dealing with a partner's addiction, single parents of children with disabilities, and young adults transitioning from the foster care system.
Throughout my life, I have noticed that I draw people to me that have struggled with a history of having instability in their childhoods. What this has looked like is individuals who have had rough childhoods and are now trying to create a better future for themselves and their children. This can be very challenging when you're building a new life and are still carrying the hurt and pain from not feeling cared for or heard as a child. The goal for these individuals is thriving in their lives by having healthy coping skills and healthy relationships.

I utilize hope, humor, faith, and optimism, along with CBT, Narrative, and Client Centered therapeutic practices in treatment with older adolescents (15 - 17 years old) and transitional aged young adults (18 - 25 years old).
Are you feeling stuck in unwanted thoughts, habits, and behaviors that don’t align with the person or future you’ve envisioned for yourself? These challenges, coupled with daily stressors, and unexpected changes, may have you feeling as if you're unable to catch your breath or find your footing. You may notice you feel more overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied with the direction of your life. You may even be telling yourself that it’s best to go it alone due to worry of being misunderstood, fear that your problems would be a burden to others, or that your circumstances are “unfixable”, despite your best efforts.

My work experience has been mainly with adults who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
I believe that experiencing hardships can be seen as an invitation to learn more about ourselves and evolve in our life journey to reach our highest potential. I offer to help patients increase self-awareness, increase coping skills to manage symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Most importantly, I provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment in which patients can explore their symptoms, feelings, and life difficulties. By working together through the therapeutic process, I guide patients into a path of self-discovery and empowerment.

My practice focuses on psychological evaluations for children (7 and older), adolescents, adults, and seniors. Some reasons folks seek my help is to assess for autism, intellectual deficits, learning disorders, ADHD, as well as to address possible depression/anxiety that often accompany these conditions. My approach is to learn about the whole person rather than rely on tests alone to produce an evaluation best suited to your needs.
