Addressing the specific needs or goals of the client is the primary goal in my therapy sessions. Assessment might include focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, loss, and relationship health including marriage and parenting.

My life experiences of long term marriage, parenting, grandparenting and the desire to assist in healthy relationships direct my therapy.

Stigmas surrounding mental illness lead to negative stereotypes and mistaken beliefs that leave us feeling confused, ashamed, or even isolated. Nearly 1 in 5 people experience mental health problems in a given year, yet many find it difficult to reach out and ask for help. Whether struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health issues, a supportive, fresh perspective is often helpful and perhaps, even necessary for getting back on your feet.

Family Matters, Reconnecting Lives... Hi! I'd like to help you or your loved ones "reconnect" and lead happier, healthier lives.

Are you or someone you love going through a rough time or recently experienced something that was painful? It can be hard to know how to manage and you may feel like you are alone. I want to work with you to develop a plan to help you manage your current situation and look towards the future with renewed hope. I believe in involving the family system, whenever possible, to strengthen relationships for ongoing success.

I look forward to meeting you where you are at and helping you get to where you want to be.

So many people have that "record" that plays on repeat in their head. The one that whispers to them when they look in the mirror, "you are not good enough." My goal is to work with high functioning, successful people who still hear that voice saying "you are not good enough." My goal is to work with you to challenge that voice and eventually get rid of it so you can have all of the happiness you deserve!

"Good architecture is like a good therapy session, a good marriage, a good poem - gently and almost invisibly allowing you to be you, as flawed and as beautiful as you are." -- Robert Sullivan ________________________________________________ Therapy is about you finding the ability to be the desired ideal of yourself.

I am trauma trained with a certification in play and sand tray therapy. Every child has a need to express emotion. I believe children work through events, stories and presenting problems while playing. The playroom is an opportunity for a child to explore, reflect and/or process life experiences. My favorite quote is "When you are free you can play-and when you're playing you become free." Heidi Kaduson

Clients between the ages of 10-23 can expect to build an understanding of any mental health diagnoses or current extenuating circumstances they are living with and how best to build the necessary tools to navigate their life with confidence and acceptance.

Life can be full of light, and sometimes equally as much dark. Managing in the dark can be challenging, scary, lonely, and uncertain. Exploring, learning, and developing the tools necessary to bring a little light of your own into that darkness can be so important as you venture down the path. With time, commitment, and some creativity, there is light at then end of the tunnel.

Stress comes at many times in our lives. Sometimes that stress can be so overwhelming we don't know where to go and it feels like our inner world is chaotic when all we want is peace.

I offer a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment for all individuals to process their concerns and find peace inside. I will meet you where you are at and walk beside you on your journey.
