Are you having a hard time connecting with your child or watching them struggle? The challenges youth have to navigate today are unique and complicated. Many of my clients are between the ages of 6-18, or parents of kids this age. Many suffer from anxiety, depression, family divorce, thoughts of self harm, oppositional defiant disorder, social/educational concerns at school, etc. Typically I meet with the child and then bring in the parent for the end of session to review and talk action plans/next steps. By working collaboratively with youth and their parents, we can work together to repair relationships and develop strong bonds.

Feeling stuck in a web of stress, frustration, anxiety, hurt, depression, and loneliness can be difficult and unsettling. Like a gas gauge, it is important to identify what empties us and what fuels us. With understanding, knowledge, and humor, I assist my clients in identifying what empties them, such as stresses, worries, roadblocks, and other means of "stuck-ness." We also explore what fuels us and fills us, such as change, self-care, acceptance, balance, empowerment, and new beginnings.

I’ve been working primarily with people who manage conditions such as; ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD/trauma experiences, gambling and substance use disorders.
Thank you for visiting my psychology today page. I've been working with children, adults and couples for several years and through my experience I've developed beliefs about healthy development. 1.) Our experiences shape who we are and everyone deserves to be treated with patience, respect and dignity. We need a safe environment to open up and develop self-compassion. 2.) We need support and cannot work through our problems alone; all psychological problems are relationship problems and it is for this reason the therapeutic alliance is necessary. 3.) It takes intention to change patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

Do you feel like you are just barely surviving in life? Does your child show some signs of anxiety and struggle to socialize with others? Or maybe you have gone through a traumatic experience in your past that lingers in the present and keeps you from feeling like yourself. If you resonate with any of these and don’t know what to do, I could be the therapist for you. I like to think that the bravest thing a person can do is ask for help. Although life inevitably comes with its hardships, it does not have to be an endless experience consisting of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and past traumas constantly coming to the surface.

I have clinical experience working with adolescents through adults, and in various topics such as relationship issues, life transitions, exploring gender identity, and management of stress and depression.
I push my clients into finding their own strengths and to use them in their therapy treatment. In session, clients will be assisted in exploring their experiences in a safe and judgment-free environment and build their goals to achieve while in therapy. My ideal client is someone who is seeking help but does not know how to start, someone who thinks they don't need counseling, and people who don't know their own value. If I cannot help, I will assist in finding someone who can.

With a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma and life stress, I employ evidence-based methods to encourage lasting change.
Do you ever wonder “am I really living my life?”? Maybe you find yourself pulled in so many directions, you don’t know what direction to go. Maybe you can’t find the energy to examine what is feeling “off” - or maybe you’ve felt this way for so long you don't know when this feeling started. You crave support, but when you pick up the phone to call a friend, you either become distracted or you remember that your friends are as busy and spread thin as you are. And you don’t want to be a burden to anyone. I understand. My approach to helping is collaborative - walking with you, and offering a place to reflect with no interruptions.
