I enjoy working with children, teens, families, and adults to help them solve their problems. I have been working as a therapist since 2008, and worked with children at a residential campus for the six years prior to that. I love finding solutions and watching people blossom and thrive when they are no longer burdened by their personal struggles.
People of all ages struggle at times in their life and can benefit from some outside help. These areas of stress can range from focus, sadness, worry, or interpersonal interactions. A outside resource can often provide a fresh perspective that allows people to better challenge their situation and find improved outcomes.
Asking for help can be difficult, and finding the right therapist to help can also be a challenge. I work hard to understand each client and provide a space where they feel heard, understood, and cared for.
