Seeking help can be difficult and allowing one's self to be vulnerable requires courage. I believe in our soul's capacity to heal through our inherent ability to be resilient and rise through self-determination. I strive to provide an environment that offers confidence, safety, respect, and inspiration for self-exploration. I believe that individuals are the foremost experts on themselves and together we can work to create a personalized approach to meet your unique needs and goals. I enjoy working with individuals who are determined to improve patterns of thinking and cycles they may feel hopeless in, creating growth and forward healthy movement.

I believe everyone, no matter what their past experience, has an inborn ability for healing. Some reactions we learn for survival can become problems later in life. I'll help you understand how some of your current challenges and symptoms relate to your mind and body's natural, protective wisdom and together we'll access that wisdom for healing. This biology based approach sees you as someone worthy of support, yearning for wellness and capable of improvement, no matter your diagnosis. Skill building, trauma reprocessing, attachment focused support, education, parenting support and mindfulness are among the approaches we may use.

I am honored to work with individuals, couples, and adolescents.
I have experience with a broad range of issues and encourage an honest, relationship-based approach to therapy. We work together to explore the issues most important to you. I believe that everyone is capable of change, though easy to say, it is very challenging to put into action. Therapy can create a safe space to reflect upon your world and history. It is a mindful process to accept and redefine yourself. It is a space to look at what parts are activated in your life and which parts feel quiet.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Life is the journey we take to find ourselves in a search for meaning and purpose. As the roads of life are traveled it is easy to become disoriented, lost, or overwhelmed. Healing can happen when we are able to find our way and reconnect with ourselves and others. I believe this is a collaborative process that is most effectively done through connection and developed awareness. My goal is to help you build a diverse collection of skills to make your journey what you want it to be.

I have extensive experience working with individuals, children, teens, partners, and families bogged down with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, relationship issues.
Let me support you individually (your child/ teen), with your partner(s), or as a family as you heal and grow. Life presents us with ongoing challenges; relationships, careers, families, raising children, medical issues, trauma, grief. These can add up to emotional stressors with behavioral reactions making it difficult to function as people in our various relationships and settings. When we become unaware of our emotional state and ignore self-care, emotionally, physically, spiritually, we may become stuck and are unable to function at a level that is our best selves. I will meet you, your child, or your family where you're at.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults.
I enjoy working with individuals who are on the verge of major life transitions, and supporting them as they find, develop, and come to celebrate their strengths and individual differences. Those transitions can be from adolescent dependence on their parents to young adulthood; the discovery and acceptance of gender and sexual identity; developing coping skills to manage chronic illnesses; and increasing independence and strengths after changes in relationships.

My area of focus and specialty has been with adolescents. Through working with teens I inevitably work with their parents and I'm comfortable working with adults as well on their own issues. I can also be a guiding hand to help them improve their parenting skills with a Love and Logic approach. I'm experienced with complicated family systems and truly believe that creating change for a teen requires work from the entire family to help support that change. Teens are malleable and are very capable of change if given the proper support.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
