Teenage-hood can be ROUGH. It's when teens want independence and are figuring out their identity and parents would just like to know what's going on. We say things we don't mean to people we love or we aren't finding a way to communicate where everyone feels heard. So many other factors have an impact like trauma, attachment, oppression, timeframes, shame, world events, culture, and family history. I could keep that list going forever and that's too much to figure out alone.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and stages of life. My specialty in childhood and adolescence provides me with an appreciation for how the past influences the present.

It’s not that therapy isn’t for everybody. You just haven’t found the right therapist. Navigating life can be heavy all by itself…but when you’re not getting the support you need, it can feel heavier. You don’t have to walk through life struggling to figure it out alone. Being that person may have worked for you in the past, but it’s no longer serving you, and I think you’re beginning to understand. I'm here to support you as you navigate beyond that.

Starting or continuing the process of therapy can be intimidating for anyone. Maybe you are experiencing a new life transition or dealing with an ongoing issue. Regardless of what you may be experiencing, you do not have to go through it alone.

While there are many reasons to seek therapy, often an underlying theme is that the strategies we have developed and relied on over time to deal with life's challenges are no longer working as effectively as might be needed. It is my belief, and has been my experience, that by understanding how we have adapted to the forces that shape our lives (both within and around us), and by changing the ways we relate to and experience these forces, we can create opportunities to strengthen valued skills or learn new ones, improve our ability to respond to and manage stress, and move with intention toward desired goals and outcomes.
