Hello! I am deeply passionate about helping you heal using your own strengths and abilities. Together we will create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.

Is your adolescent struggling with making good choices, experiencing anxiety, being bullied, or simply not thriving? When children enter school they may be exposed to new peer pressures, academic demands or uncertainty in their environment. Children tend to withdraw or demonstrate behavior changes when they are faced with challenges they don't know how to navigate. Parents often struggle with how to best support their child. This is where counseling for children, teens and college students can provide guidance in supporting a child's social, emotional and academic growth. Having a neutral adult relationship in their lives can help!

I believe “art is a wound turned to light” (a quote by Georges Braque). I believe the healing process is based on trust, compassion, and a willingness to embrace growth and change.
