There is something unique about being able to treat children and the systems that they exist in. There are many ways to effect change in a child's life. First and foremost, I try to create a positive relationship with the child and meet them where they are. I use a number of modalities such as talk and play therapy, as well as teach skills that help build each child's tool box for life.

I work with adult and older adolescent clients who are struggling to find life beyond their diagnosis. Whether a mood disorder, a chronic or acute medical condition, or difficulty establishing a healthy lifestyle, I work with my clients to develop not only coping skills but also help them find vitality in their lives.

Do you find yourself playing out the same self sabotaging patterns and feel frustrated to break them? Do you have trouble in your relationships, wanting connection yet feeling lonely? Do you resort to alcohol or drugs and it's becoming a problem? Does it feel like parts of you are in conflict and out of your control? If you could figure it out logically you would have already. These patterns may feel mysterious to you but what if these parts of yourself have good intentions and are just stuck trying to help. In therapy we can break these painful patterns by healing the underlying issues and giving you freedom and peace inside.

A lot of focus on people with anxiety and depression disorder. Mood swings or other emotional midsections that are causing some level of conflict in their family, social, educational or financial life. A majority of the people I work vary in what they know about themselves from just knowing somethings and wanting to fix it to others being forced by a friend, family member or just some stranger that passed along my name to someone. Range of symptoms from minor to discharges from high levels of care.

Despite your success on paper, you are constantly doubting yourself. You have difficulty letting go of things and compromising with others. It seems that you need more knowledge than is necessary and that everything has to be perfect at all times. There is a constant need to prove yourself to “feel good enough” but that "good enough" never happens. You tend to blame yourself in relationships, wondering if you "should've" felt that way or if you "could've" handled a situation differently. The mental load you carry constantly causes you to feel stressed and overwhelmed.

Clients come to me for many reasons, but the common theme is that somehow they feel they have strayed from a path that is right for them, and somewhere along the way they have disconnected from their authentic selves. I help clients remember what it was that sparked joy and playfulness as a child and bring that spirit back into their lives as adults.
