Life is filled with challenges, especially when navigating relationships, whether interpersonal or with systems like CMH, schools, CPS, or healthcare. I specialize in couples and family counseling. With more than 25 years of experience supporting families advocating for their children or adult children with autism, ADHD, or developmental and mental health challenges, These challenges can lead to institutional trauma when system breakdowns cause harm or distress. Such circumstances can drain emotional resources, leaving one feeling powerless and overwhelmed. If this sounds familiar, I am here to help.
Together, we can work through these feelings, build resilience, and develop effective strategies to navigate both personal and systemic challenges. My approach is client-centered and nonjudgmental. I believe in collaboration, mutual respect, and the importance of setting meaningful goals to guide your therapeutic journey.
With more than 25 years of experience working with families in the community and five years in private practice, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate complex challenges, build resilience, and find hope. I am committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to support your growth and well-being.
