When you or your relationship are suffering, it can feel impossible to create lasting change. Throw stressors of big decisions, work, family or past/present trauma into the mix and it’s no wonder we feel lost at times. I want to join you right in the middle of your greatest struggle. In your time with me, you’ll find the empathetic guidance needed to process unheard pain and sort out misunderstood anger. Together we can transform damaging patterns within yourself or relationship into connection and confidence. We start where you are, doubts and questions included, and discover how your steps toward positive change will continue.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

Let’s face it, life can be difficult. After all, life does not come with an owner’s manual and there is no contract signed between you and life. Success can be a burden, responsibility can be difficult and goals hard to achieve. So many obstacles, real and imagined can cloud our judgment. What do I do? Where do I belong? Am I happy doing what I do and where I am?

My personal style is to extend warmth, acceptance and care to all who enter my office. I’m not afraid of your tears or your anger and want you to know, you are in a judgement free space. My style is light and I help clients find humor when the situation calls for it, and know that laughter is incredibly healing. I will tell you the truth, as I see it, for the sole purpose to help you grow. The average client spends about six months to a year with me. Some clients require just a few visits to hit the reset or rebalance button.

Is your child or teenager having a tough time at school or at home? Are they struggling academically or showing more intense emotions, indifference, or disruptive behavior? As a mother of three young boys, I understand how challenging it is to watch our children struggle. Handling the difficulties that arise by ourselves can be daunting, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed and isolated while trying to provide the support they need. If you are having concerns about your child’s academic progress, behaviors, or mental health, you are not alone in this process.
