I believe everyone possesses a set of skills and strengths to navigate through life's ups and downs. Unfortunately, life happens and sometimes it may become harder to access or see your strengths. As your therapist I'm here to help aid you through your journey of healing, while helping you to access and gain more strengths to meet your goals. I don't believe therapy should be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I take the time to listen and understand the uniqueness of your personal experiences. As a therapist I take a person-centered approach and meet you where you are.

In my therapeutic work, I partner with you to understand the needs of your family and that of your child. Together we explore the concerns which bring you into my office – whether trauma, adjustment, anxiety, school related concerns, or behavioral challenges.
