I work with a wide array of clients experiencing challenges in their lives ranging from eating disorders to substance abuse to serious trauma. In my years of work specializing in children and parents contending with anger, anxiety, depression, foster-care, parenting struggles and divorce issues I have helped families find healing and recover fun in their relationships. Whether a person is seeking services because they realize their problems can improve and they want professional support or at the insistence of a concerned family member, therapy should be a place where you experience confidence that the situation will improve.

Many of my clients are in recovery, have traumatic family dynamics, and generally struggle to feel settled in society. I’m interested in what brought you to the moment of seeking out therapy and how I can support you with getting your needs met.

I have over 5 years of experience with trauma, and often help those who experience negative self talk, shame, anxiety, and depression.
