It takes courage to connect for counseling and recovery from abuse, loss, trauma, or other adverse childhood experiences. Often these experiences can result in challenging maladaptive behaviors including substance use, aggression, self-injury, or suicidality in youth. I believe that children and youth heal best in a family-focused relational modality addressing the problems to be solved for the youth and their caregivers too. Individuals who have experienced disruption in their relationships through the death of a parent or removal from their home can benefit from clarification and reconciliation to achieve safety and wellness.
I am trained and certified in trauma treatment, adolescent substance abuse treatment, and am an adoption competent mental health clinician who has been working with at-risk youth for twenty-eight years. I look forward to working with youth and their families on treatment goals that reflect voice and choice in treatment, and promoting skills development.
Reach out for the support you, your child or your loved one may need today.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
