I have extensive experience working with children, adults and couples/families who have experienced traumatic events, grief and loss, anxiety, depressive symptoms, divorce/separations, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions.
We all deserve to have a space that we feel heard, seen and cared for as we work through life’s challenges. It can be overwhelming to watch our loved ones struggle with an issue and feel unable to help. I am here to support you and navigate this new journey together. My strengths as a clinician, center on creating partnerships with clients to address barriers that are stopping them from feeling their best. In our work together, we will explore life’s challenges and celebrate its joys.

They will learn coping skills to relax the anxious mind, independently problem solve and control behaviors when faced with traumatic situations.
Your child's racing thoughts, nervous stomach and pounding heart is not going away. They are stuck in worried thoughts and behaviors that scare you both. You've read books, talked to friends and googled about anxiety, OCD and anger. It's not helping. Maybe situations like divorce or peer drama have taken a toll on their self esteem. Your once happy kid seems to have lost their confidence. You both want to see their self esteem rise again to feel stronger and more secure in who they are. It can feel overwhelming with so many therapy choices. How do you know you are choosing the best help for your child and your family?

Sometimes all that stands in the way of your happiness and peace of mind is the way you think about things. It's remarkable how our own thoughts can work against us creating anxiety, depression and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. There is great relief in the realization that the happiness you truly want and deserve is actually within your control! Whether your goal is diminishing your fears, gaining a better understanding of why you feel so sad, finally having the healthy relationship you have been yearning for, reducing stress, finding balance, or finally being able to answer that question, "What will make me happy?"

I am a trained DBT and Gottman Level 1 therapist for individuals, couples, and families and have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, and more.
It is always a vulnerable choice we make when we decide to attend therapy. Therefore, it is only natural to look for a safe place to be ourselves. To speak, be heard/validated, and to feel secure. Most importantly, to feel listened to without the fear of judgement. I understand. I aim to provide such a place for you where we can also collaborate, help promote self-growth, and self-exploration within your relationship with yourself or with others. Those are difficult situations to navigate and to find yourselves in and the therapeutic process is a personal journey, so seeking the right kind of therapist is important.
