Asking for help can be hard. Sometimes an objective, outside person can provide the space we need to find our own answers. My goal as a therapist is to help you reduce stress, increase healthy resources, and ultimately increase your capacity for joy and connection. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, adults and families on issues related to trauma, mental health, parenting, self-esteem, grief and loss, career and life transition issues, and separation and divorce. I work to provide a safe and supportive environment free of judgment and criticism.

Often children ask for help is ways we do not understand. Yelling, hitting, no communication, self-harm, change in social habits. Through soothing and hands-on sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's figure out the angry and what we can do instead of yelling. Why the self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Anxiety does not need to control you. Parents, let's find something different to do because at the end of the day, I know you want happiness and love. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

I love the helping process, and I am here to learn about you – your wisdom, your creativity, and the ways that you have coped with challenges in the past. During our time together, we will explore the experiences you have had in an attempt to bring awareness to things that are working well and things that you would like to change. Maybe you have struggled with self-esteem and fear being judged by others. Perhaps you’re dealing with changes in your life, taking on a new career, entering a new relationship, or navigating parenthood – transitions that all can bring both joy and stress.

Well, despite my stature, I lack any notable athletic abilities, but I do have some equestrian skills up my sleeve. As for the weather? That’s confidential information for tall people only! As a therapist, I pride myself on breaking free from traditional constraints and fostering a warm, inviting atmosphere, filled with laughter and a touch of quirkiness. My approach is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, and genuine human connection – because that's where the magic truly happens.
