Therapy is not only for those suffering from severe mental health issues; it's for everyone and anyone struggling with life's challenges. I hope to help clients struggling with common issues such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem learn to identify how their lives are impacted. I work with both adults and children. I have a passion for helping women and mothers who need to find themselves and a balance in life. As well as, neurodiverse children and their parents who need support navigating the world. Sometimes just having someone to normalize and validate your feelings is relief enough. Sometimes it’s just a start.

As our lives fluctuate within an ever changing world, we are faced with more and more challenges. Whether they are transitions, recent illnesses/death, or overwhelming work-life expectations, therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these concerns as well as the opportunity to identify areas of resiliency to grow and move forward.

I believe that change happens outside of our comfort zone. At the same time, I believe that feeling safe is a vital part of the change process. We can only begin to step outside of where we have been, into a more healthy and happy life, if we are first grounded in safety and security. I strive to provide this environment for my clients. My goal is that all clients feel safe and secure the entire time that we work together, to move through the uncomfortable aspects of life, towards a happier, healthier, more fulfilling existence.

Are you struggling to keep up with life's fast pace? Do you often feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or even depressed in your day to day journey? You are not alone. Life can be messy and full of transitions that can sometimes lead us astray in our journey towards peace and happiness. This can lead to difficulty in reaching personal goals, impact interpersonal relationships, and negatively impact our self-esteem and self-concept. These struggles are not specific to adults, as children and adolescents are also dealing with the same challenges at a younger and younger age.

In addition, I do provide services in the following areas: Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management, Eating Disorders, Trauma Focused and Adjustment Disorders.
Each client has their own unique story and my job is to adjust to what the client needs utilizing an integrated approach of evidenced based practices. I gravitate toward strength based treatment. For younger clients this tends to include a behavioral plan and parent coaching to transfer skills across environments. Individual therapy, for all ages, may include: behavior modification, social skills training, CBT or DBT pending the individuals level of cognitive functioning and identified goals. The idea is to build upon already existing strengths and promote adaptive behaviors to improve overall functioning.
