Therapy is a safe space to be seen and heard without fear of judgement. Here you can be your authentic self, with all your complex thoughts and feelings, and together we can work to find meaning and hope.
With 22 years of work with teens and families in non-profit and therapy settings, my favorite work is to help build safety and connection in the context of family. I specialize in building bridges between parents and their teens, helping each understand and communicate better. Family is complex in every season, but parenting teens is especially challenging.
No matter the context of your family situation, my office is a safe place to unravel the hurt and rebuild something beautiful together.
