I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.

Our mental health and self-care can get lost in the chaos of life' s daily demands. With the distractions of societal strains, personal responsibilities, and professional obligations, we can lose track of our own wellness, strength, and needs. While these external factors probably aren't going anywhere, we can work together to rediscover your connection to your self-worth, resilience, and purpose. We all carry the answers to our own questions, and my job is to support you as you find yours.

Adults with Aspergers (a/k/a Autism Spectrum Disorder) have extraordinary challenges coping with everyday life. This is a result of neurological differences in emotional wiring, communications, social interaction, sensory and executive functioning. Living life with these differences can result in depression and anxiety. It can also cause havoc within a marriage, educational pursuits, and careers. I offer a validating environment to better understand the "typical world," and develop coping skills to manage everyday life--as well as a creative space for couples to learn about their differences and work towards acceptance.
