Life is hard. As children, we often have little to no control over our lives. Things happen that make us feel confused, angry, or scared, and we may or may not get the help we need or even an explanation. Our childhood experiences shape who we are, and many children experience trauma or have some unmet need that follows us into adulthood and makes life even harder than it already is. Being a parent is hard. It takes a village, and I hope to support your child (and you!) through the messiness of being a human.

I know one of the most important pieces in creating a successful therapeutic and safe space is creating a healthy and understanding relationship with all clients. Therefore, I fully believe in an individualistic approach, as I remain consciously aware that each individual is different and what might work for one will likely not work for all.

It's common for our life stories to feel disjointed at times. Experiencing trauma, loss, or shame can make it challenging to integrate these difficult experiences into a coherent narrative. However, within a safe and nurturing relationship, it becomes possible to weave these experiences together and uncover a peaceful, wise, and empowered part of ourselves. My approach is influenced by psychoanalysis, object-relations, existential therapies, and internal family systems. I strive to embody compassion, non-judgment, and curiosity. I look forward to supporting you in your journey of healing.

I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. Most of my experience has been in the home and school setting, working with children and teens who experience anxiety, depression, developmental disabilities and behavioral concerns. Most of my clients strive to develop skills to work on emotional regulation and improve their interpersonal relationships. Working with individuals in a variety of settings has given me the perspective on the importance of understanding the influence of different environments on a client's life.

I am a client-centered therapist who uses the strength-based perspective to help individuals identify their difficulties and build coping skills to manage their symptoms. With this in mind, my ideal client would be someone dedicated to introspection, open to new perspectives and information, and wiling to challenge themselves to grow. I would love my clients to leave sessions stronger, more informed and a little "lighter."

Living life with a chronic illness is often lonely and difficult. Having worked as a chronic illness mental health provider for the last 7 years, I can truly understand and support individuals who live their lives with a disease that is often invisible to others. I also work with parents and other caregivers who have a child with a chronic illness, or other unique challenges. I also have many years of experience counseling adults with depression, anxiety, high functioning autism spectrum disorder, and mood disorders.

Finding the right fit with a therapist is so important. In order to get the most out of therapy, it is crucial that the therapist/patient relationship be empathic, comfortable and trusting. I work with college age and adult individuals, struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, life transitions, pre and postpartum, medical/pain issues, coping with stress and relationship issues. I have been a therapist for 20 years, and feel confident that you can overcome barriers that are affecting you emotionally, psychologically and physically. I strive to make you feel more comfortable in your life.

Gaining a sense of self and independence at any age can be difficult, especially when you put others first. Often times you may feel like your loved ones do not understand you due to generational and cultural differences. I'm here to help you communicate your needs to your loved ones in a respectful way. Often times fear of making the wrong decision or not being understood by our loved ones prevent you from finding a path forward.
