I work with both adults and children who may be struggling with trauma, anxiety or other emotional issues.
Beginning therapy can be a difficult and scary step for many of us. It is never too late or the wrong time to seek services that can help you through life’s many struggles. As a therapist my approach is person centered and focuses on the immediate needs of the client. My focus is to work collaboratively and alongside with you to help navigate and gain a better understanding of your emotions, past experiences, and most critical concerns. Our emotions can be strong and difficult to manage, in session we can focus on providing you the ability to practice emotion regulation, relaxation, mindfulness, and coping techniques.

By providing a safe and supportive environment, your child will feel heard, accepted, and gain the opportunity to enhance their strengths and self-esteem.
Deciding to seek help is the first step in the counseling process, and most often, the hardest step. Parents want the best for their children, but sometimes it’s hard identifying what exactly is the best way to help them. If your child is experiencing difficulty managing their emotions or behaviors, finds it hard building relationships with you or with peers, or has experienced a major life transition that they are struggling to cope with, I am here to assure you that you are taking an important step to better you and your loved ones life.
