Central to my practice is the belief that all of us deserve respect no matter our histories, and have within ourselves the wisdom for peace and healing. Our individual journeys are at times celebratory and at other times heartbreaking. We may not always be able to choose the circumstances we face such as illness, or the end of a relationship. Instead, we can choose what we are going to do about our challenges. We can choose how to integrate this information into our overall life stories for greater joy, creativity, and balance.

Growing up isn't easy. Today's adolescents experience more stress, expectations, and worries than ever. My passion is helping people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, which can lead to depressive/anxious symptoms, and poor coping skills. I bring compassion, honesty, and humor into our sessions, creating a safe, trusting space. I believe in the resiliency everyone has to work through challenges. I include parents and the child in our work, a crucial piece for consistency in communication, and navigating the increasing stressors kids face. On a personal note, I'm also a mom, and can empathize with daily demands of family life.

Sometimes life gives us a big shove and it can feel like our inner compass has been shattered. I can help you identify the areas of your life you would like to see change, the obstacles standing in the way of that change and how to expand beyond the closed-in claustrophobic feeling that can accompany complex co-occurring disorders including depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use disorder, process addictions and eating disorders. Through your own inner work you can become a healing presence to yourself and others.

I love working with teens and adults with ADHD and neurodivergence. If you’ve ever felt different, or that you don’t fit in…you fit here. I tend to lean towards a more accessible, easy-going approach when helping clients work towards goals important to their journey. I find that bringing humor to the session lends to a more comfortable therapeutic environment. While identifying goals can often be challenging, My aim is to help clients identify strengths and learn the skills needed to make positive changes in their lives.

Therapy is a challenging step to take, so I would like to introduce you to a different perspective of therapy. Growing up we learn how to care for our wellbeing. We may go through life taking care of our physical health, hygiene, and any injuries that may occur, but how much do we tend to the rest of what makes us who we are- our thoughts and emotions? I welcome you to care for all of your wellbeing. Including your mental health.
