Feeling anxious? Stressed and not sure how to cope? Experiencing unhealthy boundaries in your relationships? Having a difficult time coping with life circumstances? Just know you don't have to go through this journey alone. Seeking therapy is not an easy decision but with a safe space to explore complex feelings it makes the process less overwhelming. I have extensive experience and training providing direct clinical services to clients ages 3 and up. I specialize in treating a variety of needs including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, emotional-regulation, self-esteem, and relationship conflicts.

I have been working with children and adults for over 25 years, diagnosing and treating mental health issues. I believe there is a very large range of "normal" and we all struggle with life at times. My professional goal is to provide a safe atmosphere to identify and discuss stumbling blocks and guide others to a place where they can confidently be themselves, fulfill their potential and find joy. It can be challenging to ask for help, but taking that risk and facing your fears opens up a world of possibilities.

Most parents who reach out to me are seeking help in the following areas: sleep-related issues (bedtime routines, staying in bed); tantrums; communication; relationships with peers and siblings; challenges in school, sports, and other environments; and handling "no" or frustration appropriately. I work with the child to build and strengthen skills, model strategies for parents, and provide a plan for ongoing support throughout the week. The overall goal is to empower families so that, when my time is done, they feel confident in moving forward with effective solutions.

I'm moved by the longing of couples to be to be listened to with undivided attention, to be understood and accepted, to be seen in their virtues and appreciated, to be held with affection and delight, to be allowed to be themselves and shift from it's all about me to you need all the same things. Your criticism and force can step back when I help you care about your own wounds - that your partner can respect, but cannot heal for you. I walk with confounded parents to calm their reactions to their children's resistance. They feel ignored, failing to raise a caring and responsible son or daughter. Heart is heavy, values seem irrelevant. Unburden the heart so your children can hear your values, not your reactions. Couple and family difficulties have roots in old hurts where we managed with knee jerk reactions and attitudes of how things should be. I can help you hold perspective, where you value yourself when others discredit you, where you're open to feedback about what is not helpful without feeling criticized or angry. Therapy is not getting partners or children or peers to respond, it's being able to bring my values with conviction without being attached to the outcome
