Deciding to attend therapy is a courageous act that can result in life altering and life affirming outcomes.

Therapy is a process whereby clients have the opportunity to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and find out how to make changes toward a more fulfilling life.

Many of the children and adolescents I work with are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger issues, family relationships, low self-esteem, peer/friendships issues, body images concerns, and challenges related to disruptive behavior and inattention.
Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.
