I strive to ensure that the experience of therapy is safe, welcoming, and positive. My hope is to help my clients discover strength within themselves and develop coping skills to help them improve their life and reduce unwanted symptoms.

Since 2014 I've worked with military-connected children in school settings in the US, Germany and Japan.
Children have to deal with many stressors in today's world. This is especially true of children in military families. Frequent moves, leaving old friends, making new friends, parent's deployments, adjusting to new places and schools, peer pressure and finding and maintaining emotional resilience are challenges many children must deal with. With military children, these events may occur over and over. Family dynamics change as a parent deploys then returns home to reintegrate back into the family. I can help children navigate these challenges and thrive.
