I have extensive experience working with all ages (children, adolescents, adults, and families) who suffer from a wide range of symptoms that stem from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, school avoidance, and those attempting to overcome traumatic experiences.
I understand how stressful life is and how incredibly difficult asking for help can be. In my nine years of working in the counseling field, I have learned that it is essential that the people I work with feel comfortable talking about the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are negatively impacting their quality of life. I embrace the ideals of patience, empathy, understanding, and the absolutely essential element of humor to help people overcome the obstacles that keep them from achieving their goals.

As a parent, one of the most challenging and heartbreaking experiences is watching your children struggle and being uncertain of how to help them move forward successfully. It is equally as challenging attempting to find a provider that is a good fit for your children.
