As a psychotherapist, I have the privilege of getting to know and work with people from all walks of life. Some people are feeling a little more depressed than they used to, or more anxious, or angry. Others feel stuck, or hopeless, or really don't know how they feel. Some people feel they don't have a voice, while others hear voices that are upsetting to them. I also work with people who want to drink or use drugs less, or not at all, and others that are involved with the criminal justice system. Many people want to better their relationships in some way, and most want to finally feel some peace.

My passion is supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate through the changes in life. Our work together will aim to deepen your understanding of who you are now and who you want to be. When transitions happen you may experience anxiety, depression, stress, mood changes, trauma, self esteem issues, school avoidance, or body image issues. It is important to have a support system in place as we manage these changes. During our work together I will support you as you determine what path you would like to take in life. When I work with families it is to support them to stay connected during these times.

It is my goal to provide a safe environment for my clients to express their feelings and explore their story. Human connection is a simple yet powerful gift you deserve, and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I give my clients the space to examine and process their feelings. By building our therapeutic relationship, we can begin identifying your needs and values. I know change can feel isolating, difficult, and even impossible at times, but I'm here to help. I believe everyone is capable of living the life they want and deserve, and sometimes we just need someone to walk with us, hear us and understand our struggle.

Does your child or adolescent struggle to express or manage their emotions? Are you concerned about your child's self-esteem or social skills? Has your child or teen experienced grief, loss, or trauma? Are you concerned your child or teen is depressed or anxious? Through the power of play, I strive to create a safe environment where children can freely express themselves, learn coping skills, and process emotions, as traditional “talk therapy” generally doesn’t work well with children because kiddos process their experiences differently than adults.

Parents can hold shame, self-reproach, frustration, and helplessness over a child’s distress; children fear, disgrace, anger, disquiet. Such dynamics summon my expertise. Mood disturbance, anxiety, panic, and maladjustment manifest as aversion to separation, school refusal, flawed coping mechanisms, pervasive woe. My approach allows vulnerability to speak. Individuals emerge from our process prepared to ably navigate their world by developing and honing effective strategies to ameliorate symptoms. More profoundly, they are empowered to not just push through travail, but to mindfully sit with it long enough to seed proper growth.

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I deeply understand that our relationships mean everything: to our family, our partners, our friends, and ourselves. When we are unhappy and suffering, our needs are not being met in a fundamental way. My vision for successful therapy is allowing the space and time to explore those needs. As a therapist who uses systems theory, I might explore the different ‘parts’ of a person's experience with themselves and others in Individual and Family Therapy. In Couples Therapy, I pull from the Gottman Method as well as EFT to strengthen and heal relationships with fantastic and practical tools.
