Life will bring challenges, however, I believe therapy can ease the suffering and help connect us to the best version of ourselves. It doesn't have to be this hard and you don't have to hurt this badly. Everyone has a light inside of them, that with the right support and resources, can shine brighter and brighter. I would be honored to help your light shine. You are never too young or too old to begin taking steps to break down the barriers that are holding you back from connection and a sense of thriving. I approach therapy with realness, authenticity, and humor. I am interactive in therapy sessions and solutions-focused.

It can feel overwhelming to find the right support for yourself, your child and for your family, but you do not have to find the right support alone. I believe one of the bravest things any person can do is work towards understanding their own story or work next to their child and have them understand their own story. Being a parent comes with its sets of challenges at every developmental stage. I use a compassionate approach while using humor to balance the heavier topics we will discuss.

Sometimes it can be really difficult to manage what life throws at you. It’s not easy being a child or a young adult. There are stressors you find yourself having to deal with that you thought you would never have to deal with. Students in school may be getting to you, responsibilities of daily life can be overwhelming, you feel lonely, angry, sad or whatever it may be that can really impact your overall mood and day to day living. Even for those of you who are older and may be past those issues, there are still adjustments in your life that you are having to deal with that feel unmanageable!

As a licensed creative arts therapist (drama, art, music, movement, play. creative writing) my skills are especially suitable for clients who have been through levels of trauma (domestic violence, divorce, dating abuse, PTSD, grief and loss, depression, self-harm, anxiety. etc.). In addition, I work with high-functioning kids/teens on the autism spectrum. I have found that the visual and physical work of role-playing, scene-work, improvisation, simple drawings, and video work increases their skills to recognize facial cues and feelings. Through play, these clients build self-esteem, social skills, deepen their emotional range and gain empathy.
