Seeking therapy takes courage. I understand how difficult it can be taking that first step reaching out for help. I provide a supportive environment and foster a trusting atmosphere to begin the healing and recovery process. Services are collaborated and tailored according to the goals of clients and individuals are empowered to create meaningful change in their lives. I welcome adults who experience depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation and relational conflict; and children who experience PTSD, ADHD, emotional and behavioral challenges. I am sensitive to issues unique to women, trauma, abuse and addiction.

I have over 12 years of experience working with children and families.
Decades ago, many problems stopped kids from being successful in schools, making friends, and fulfilling their potential. Parents, you now have many resources to tap when you feel that something is not quite right with the way your child thinks, feels, or acts. Decisions about what to do when something seems wrong are critical - not only to the well-being of your child but also to their healthy development and successful transition to adulthood. So, if you have a child with a mental, emotional, or behavior problem, or think you might, please feel free to contact me.

"Where do I go from here? Who am I really?" These are questions that we often face through life transitions. Just when you may have thought that things were on smooth sailing another rift comes about. The good news is "Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path". I am passionate about working with adolescents, teens and young adult who are yearning for a change. As a team, we can explore past traumas, work to challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors. Change is inevitable and we all need that safe space to process this thing called life.

I have worked with children, teens, and adults at various levels of care to assist them with building the skills needed to navigate through life events.
Are you a caretaker experiencing depression, stress or resentment towards your loved one? Have you been actively using substances or had a recent slip in use after years of being in recovery? Do you find yourself engaging in emotional eating or caloric restriction? Are you in need of emotional support after terminating a pregnancy? Has something occurred that caused you to start anew? Do you need a supportive ear that will listen and allow you to express your thoughts and feelings? Are you seeking skills to help you cope with everyday issues? Asking for help can be scary, but trying to go it alone can be even scarier.
