Whether you are concerned about your own mental health, your relationships, or the wellbeing of your child, I can help.
We all have strengths and skills. Sometimes we have tried everything and are out of ideas. If we knew a better way, we would use it! Sometimes we face challenges we could not anticipate or prepare for. The stress we deal with, the depression or anxiety we feel, can interfere with our relationships or functioning and become an obstacle to the life we want. Understanding how our past shapes our present can help us create a more hopeful, satisfying future. If your challenges have brought you to the point where you are ready for additional support, I’d like to help you increase your tool box and reconnect with your own resilience.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I get here?” Sometimes life feels hard, overwhelming, and chaotic. Maybe you just don’t know where to start or you feel lost. Maybe you’re embarrassed that you can’t handle things on your own or like you don’t know who to ask for help. Perhaps you're going through a rough patch or you're looking to improve your relationships with friends, family, or partner. Or, maybe your child is struggling with anger, sadness, or anxiety.

Your child means the world to you. You’ve worked and invested so much throughout the years for their benefit and well being. Despite all the planning and parenting preparation you did, there are somethings that you weren’t prepared for: Constant arguments at home and meltdowns. Emails/calls from the school of your child struggling with focus and sitting still. A child that worries and is scared so much of the time. When your teenager says to their friends “I just want to die.” How to help your child through big life changes such as divorce, a move, or the death of a loved one. Or, if someone has purposely hurt him/her.

No child, teen, or family should face the challenges of our world alone.
Life presents each of us with challenges that can often feel overwhelming and leave one feeling anxious, depressed, and fearful. The opportunity to connect with others is a gift. I am focused on walking the path of healing with individuals, teens, children, and families. Each of us is a product of our life experiences. I believe that each individual possesses an inner strength that at times is difficult to access. My desire is to assist others in this journey called life and move toward hope and peace.

I am passionate about providing both understanding and compassion to all of my clients.

If your child is struggling, you may feel hopeless and out of solutions.
Currently scheduling new clients. Some openings for this week. Sometimes children experience anxiety, grief, trauma, or issues related to autism that result in difficult behavior. Such challenges can strain family relationships and exhaust parents. The good news is that people, especially young people, can change and I'm here to help.

I am not a fairy godmother that can bibbidi-bobbidi-boo your child into behaving perfectly, make your teen talk to you, or make your family understand and appreciate you. However, I can be an empathetic listener and support to help provide context and understanding for thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may feel or seem hard to process. I provide tools, resources, and a therapeutic environment where change for the better is possible.

I believe your treatment needs to be as unique as you are! To guide our work, I use your intuitive sense about what you need from therapy, and an individualized combination of tools that work best for you. The main modalities I use are EMDR, IFS (or 'Parts Work'), art therapy, mindfulness, and somatic tools. I also love using mind-body science in treatment (sleep, food, nature, exercise). When working with children, I generally use art, play therapy, and sandtray therapy. My trained therapy dog Pippin (hypoallergenic) attends sessions as well! In my spare time you can find me mountain biking, snowboarding, reading, or crafting!

I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with trauma, all addictions, body and food struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, faith crisis, and women’s issues.
As humans, we learn to cope with unpleasant feelings and situations using our innate strengths. Despite doing our best those strategies are sometimes ineffective or unhelpful. The way we try to avoid pain may cause us distress and create problems that become hard-wired into our identity, and reduce our ability to function and connect fully with others. In a warm, supportive environment we can experience change as we embrace what we feel, become aware of our emotional patterns, and create internal harmony. My mission as a therapist is to help you cope think, and feel better using a wide range of empirically-based interventions.
