New to therapy? Great. Tried 10 different therapists? Cool! My ideal client is anyone who is wanting to better themself.

Let's get to know each other and work together to accomplish your goals!

Just getting through the week can be difficult with a teenage girl. School, extracurricular activities, work, meeting new people- these can all bring on very strong emotional reactions. These reactions depend on the time of day, if she’s eaten, where she’s at in her menstrual cycle and what mood she woken up in that morning. It can be too much for one person (you). Your teen’s experience in therapy will lead them to know that they are strong, supported and capable of walking through difficult emotions.

When the pressures of daily life create distress, there is great satisfaction in finding a solution to lower your natural instinct of fear and anxiety. The main focus of my practice is to locate the limiting beliefs from your history, to free you from the contradictions that limit your growth and confuse you in relationships. The most important goal of therapy is to raise awareness regarding your natural inclination to react to negativity. When you are well anchored on the inside you will not emotionally react to an external challenge or threat.

As a school counselor and therapist for the past 20 years, I have worked with people struggling in one or many areas of their lives.

I value and support every person I work with and find that people who experience the most success in therapy put in the work and effort in and outside of therapy sessions. That being said, healing happens at a different pace for everyone, and I'm here to meet each person where they're on the journey.
