As children grow and mature, they face a wide variety of developmental challenges. Parents can begin to wonder, "Is this behavior normal?" or "Do we need help?" Oftentimes, the answer is yes to both questions. With over twenty years of experience in providing counseling services to children and teens; I have been able to help them and their parents navigate a wide array of issues. Because parents are the most important people in any child's life, I strongly emphasize family involvement in the counseling process while protecting the client's confidentiality.

Life happens to all of us and we usually deal with it, but sometimes things get challenging and we cannot go it alone - we need "someone" to walk with us. So, whether you are a parent trying to manage your child’s behavior or support your child in school; an individual seeking personal development or dealing with mental illness; or a family going through transition, I want to be your "someone".

Are you feeling hopeless, or more lethargic than usual? Have you recently experienced a death/loss? Are you experiencing difficulties adjusting to a new environment? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes", or have questions of your own, it may be time to reach out and talk through those thoughts and feelings.

Life often feels messy and complicated and we can get stuck in the same thought patterns, interpersonal conflicts, or ways of seeing the world that keep us from living as our best selves. My goal is to support clients in managing their stressors and building skills to show up in the world that feels authentic to them. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space for clients to do the work of finding their own voice, processing through their struggles and issues, identifying and using coping skills, and showing up in relationships in an authentic way.
