I've worked with children, teens, young adults, couples, and families for over 14 years.
Is somebody in your family struggling? I specialize in working with multiple members of a family. Together, we can identify the issues that are causing distress and create a plan for happiness and goal achievement. I have a gentle, calm approach that helps clients feel a sense of warmth and a lack of judgment during the therapy process. For older kids and adults, I use empowering therapeutic approaches designed to increase self-esteem, along with scientifically-based methods that help clients work through anxiety, communication issues, and trauma. I am passionate about helping families achieve change.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of counseling experience working with individual adults, couples, and adolescents.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Lao-tzu You have just taken the first step of that journey. Life presents us with many challenges along the way. We may experience loss and significant changes in our lives. These challenges may present themselves in the many relationships we have with others, in our jobs, at school, and in our families. These challenges may affect our moods, cause us worry and despair, hamper our spirits, sadden us, confuse us and result in either our stumbling off course or losing a sense of direction. Therapy can be most helpful in getting you back on track and continuing your journey.

Over the 18 years in the behavioral health field, I've attributed my growth and experience to all of the clients I've seen. One of the most difficult aspects of therapy is having to be vulnerable. In order to be vulnerable a client must feel seen, heard, respected and safe. I've worked in multiple settings such as school, corporate healthcare, home, clinic and private practice. I've worked with families, individually, with children, teen and adults with addiction, behavioral health needs and disabilities. Mostly utilizing a strengths based and family systems perspective/model.

However, children don’t always have the vocabulary or the insight to articulate their emotions in the same way adults do.
The teenage years are the most vulnerable, exciting, and growing years of a young person’s life. Self discovery can often yield low self esteem, independence can easily shift to rebellion, and a slow maturation process often creates impulsive decision making. And when a parent’s warnings and worries don’t seem to have an impact on the teenager’s course, or when it feels too heavy to carry alone, it’s helpful to have another guiding force to help. Through counseling, an adolescent can feel understood, begin to understand themselves, and learn to understand and accept their role in the family and society.
