I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD and ADHD. I also specialize in working with children who have been diagnosed with Autism. Children under the age of 18 often struggle in terms of building strong relationships with family members and peers of their age. Childhood through adolescence can be a challenging time, due to this, children often need additional guidance, as well as someone they can trust/ build rapport with.

I've experienced how addiction can damage a relationship.
While some marital issues can come as a surprise, such as with the discovery of infidelity or sexual addiction, relationships often don’t fail overnight. Instead it’s a slow fade. Divorce rates tell the story of marriages in slow decline with too little help coming too late. Do you and your partner struggle to communicate effectively? Perhaps your conflicts have become destructive. Maybe you both live more as roommates than partners or even lovers. Are resentments growing as battlelines are drawn? Has one of you threatened divorce in the heat of an argument? Or have you been devastated by infidelity or sexual addiction?

As I guide you through a variety of experiential skill building and relationship education, you will learn to identify your values, needs, and wants in order to be able to articulate them effectively and ultimately start building the connections you desire in your professional and personal life.
As a human being, we can struggle to find our identity and place in this world. We struggle with time management, discipline, and purpose. We want more from life but we don't know how to break through the barrier. Similarly, in relationships we tend to struggle to connect, communicate, and resolve issues. We need to have a desire to do the hard work to grow together, build, and maintain connection.

Therapy offers a place to learn new information, explore significant life and relationship patterns, understand needs and emotions, develop skills for coping with painful feelings, build competence in communicating and working with loved ones, adapt to unexpected or developmental change, heal early and recent traumas, and rebuild trust in self and others.
Therapy does not have to be a beatdown. Healing and growth can be demanding, exhausting, and have high stakes. Having support, a clear plan, and reliable evidence-based approaches adapted to your unique situation can sustain hope through the hardest times and bring changes that feel impossible within reach. You are the expert in your own life. Change is most meaningful and lasting when we are supported in discovering our own insights and solutions within the safety of compassionate relationships. My first goal is to help create a safe place for you to have a voice and access your natural capacity for healing.

It's because you can be vulnerable with the person you love. This vulnerability makes you close but also opens you up to pain.

In my practice, I strive to make the client feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
