As a parent it can be so frustrating to feel lost when it comes to handling your child’s emotional outbursts or difficulty staying focused throughout the day. When these behaviors occur frequently in a child’s life, whether due to ADHD, anxieties, or difficulty handling big emotions, children can begin to feel like something is wrong with them, that they can never do anything right. Maybe your teen is struggling with worry or anxiety, feeling exhausted by the pressure of school or perhaps a history of trauma. Seeing their pain causes parents to feel weighed down by guilt.

Life can bring its share of challenges for children, teens, and adults. We are human and sometimes need help working through the constant demands of life.

I am here to help! I am passionate about helping others through their darkest or most anxiety ridden places and coming out of therapy with a new mind set and personal growth. You or your child will build skills to better manage the toughest seasons of life.

Every day seems overwhelming, and often finding a few minutes to focus on your own needs seems impossible, it can feel as if you may never be happy again. Some days it takes everything you have to get through the day, and you wonder, "is this the best my life is going to be?" In the morning it takes all that you have to get out of bed, and at night, you lay awake, unable to sleep, due to worry, fear, and feeling things are just hopeless. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor, you just want to find someone who understands and doesn't judge. Experiencing depression or anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't your fault.

I offer a warm and welcoming approach to counseling with the understanding that you are the expert of your life.

I am currently offering neuro feedback sessions with the Neuroptimal machine. You do not need to have brain mapping done to utilize this machine. It is dynamic in that it reads your brain in present time while you are on the machine and actively brings it the set point. Neuroptimal promotes healthy sleep habits and sleep management, improves mental acuity, I notice that those who use the machine are able to cut through the fog of anxiety and have more good days then bad.
