When addressing children, I join them on their level to communicate in a manner they understand.
We all get stuck at various points in our lives and need a different perspective, new education, or a sounding board for our thoughts & emotions. My desire is to help others make the best decisions they can, both for themselves and for their unique situations. For those who have a specific diagnosis, I'd like to help educate you about your challenges and advantages (yes, there can be positives too!). When we learn how our brain works, we can find solutions to overcome individual obstacles, strengthen relationships, and pursue a greater sense of peace.

Therapy is completely normal and helpful when you find the right therapist for YOU! Finding such a therapist can feel overwhelming, scary and even hopeless. I assure you, those thoughts and feelings are normal. Depression and anxiety can be debilitating and scary. You feel alone and helpless; like no one understands you or what you're experiencing. Career, family, children, friendships, marriage and relationships suffer making you feel even more alone; and lost in the dark world that only you can see and feel. Please, give yourself the gift of therapy. I can help you work towards a healthier and happier you.
