I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families addressing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation and relational dynamics in need of improvement.
Feeling connected to and understood provides the foundation for any healthy relationship, including the therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to provide a supportive, trusting and non-judgmental environment in order to foster greater self-awareness, insight and personal growth and fulfillment. One parent of a 13-year old client said: "During one of the darkest and most difficult times in our lives, in you came ready to listen, guide, support, and be a beacon of light in an otherwise dark time. My son immediately felt safe with you and trusted you. That is a true gift and says so much about you both personally and professionally."

Some of my specialties include Dual Diagnosis, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, Stress Tolerance, Children and Families, and Crisis Management.
While everyone is facing challenging times based on many circumstances that life is presenting, its important to know that you are not alone. Often times, we have difficulty coping with life stressors. That can result in becoming withdrawn, experience difficulty in relationships, or face increased anxiety. I believe that our experiences from birth, adolescents years, and into our adult life have a tremendous impact on our worldview. My approach involves collaborating with my clients to explore the impact of past experiences in order to develop the healthy coping skills needed to face life's challenges.

In that time, I've become very familiar with children who have school-related problems, as well as psychological testing and special education laws.
Let's face it, it's not easy coming to the decision to seek out counseling, let alone calling a complete stranger to do so. My hope is that, if you decide to take this step to contact me, we will not be strangers for long. I have been a clinician in various capacities for over 15 years and have always worked very hard to make people feel comfortable talking to me. During those years I have developed a general practice where I have seen people for anxiety, depression, parenting, marriage and sexuality.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD as well as school and social difficulties and adjustments to life changes.
Good therapy should, at its core, feel like talking with a friend – and that’s the kind of therapist I strive to be. More than anything, when it comes to this work, I value the relationships I build with my clients. Therapy is a two-way street, and the best results are achieved when you are in the driver’s seat. But sometimes in life we all need someone to help us steer when the storm rolls in. Someone to help you figure out where you are on the map and then help you get where you want to go. I want to be that person for my clients.
