I have raised 5 children.
Delivering counseling services to families, couples and individuals for 26 years. Using creative techniques to meet the needs of each individual, family, or couple. Learning from each person I meet and the growth and experience gained from them. The satisfaction of seeing these individuals as they accomplish their goals and become self reliant as well as how much they care for themselves beyond the therapeutic relationship is what I enjoy most about this interaction.

Your once bubbly and talkative teen is now spending all of their time in their room, withdrawing from loved ones and feeling alone with increasing stress. You feel like you haven't been able to connect with them, and wonder what's happening in their lives. You have noticed they are more distant, sad, or angry but aren't sure why, and when you try to help you feel like it makes everything worse. The things that you used to talk about and enjoy together don't interest them anymore. You are starting to feel like you are losing your son or daughter.

As a therapist I have worked with many different populations with a wide range of presenting problems. When I am meeting with a new client I like to listen as they describe their goals, stressors, the things that brought them into therapy, and we build from there. I believe it is my job as a therapist to work as a support to my clients, life can get heavy and sometimes having someone to talk to, and problem solve with can truly lighten the load. I believe therapy provides an outlet for when things become just to much to power through on your own.
