Now taking Aetna and Cigna. Taking new adults, teens, and kids now! Are you or your child feeling like there are no choices and you are just swept along by the current? Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and you don't know where to start or which direction to go? Does low mood sometimes leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give? Does your anger bubble over and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, or resentment can feel unbearable. You don't have to merely "survive" life though. You can live in, direct, and thrive in your life again or for the first time.

As someone who has been a school counselor I realize that a child's mental health is often times directly correlated to their parents mental health. For that reason I love serving children and or adults that struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. In addition to serving school aged children, I also have a huge heart for those who are in need of pregnancy related counseling. Whether it be that they are dealing with loss, infertility, or postpartum depression I believe this is a population that is underserved and in need of mental health assistance.

Enjoying third career immensely since 1984 (former Kindergarten teacher, restauranteur).

Main strengths - marital (relationships), drug/alcohol, emotional, (depression, anxiety, etc), life problems (school, career, bereavement, etc.), kids (behavior, discipline, school problems, etc.). I am also an SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) DOT certified

Trauma turns your world on its head, not only through the event but the aftermath. Anger, grief, confusion- all of these responses may come out of children, teens, and even adults by lashing out, throwing tantrums, making impulsive decisions, losing focus, and withdrawing from friends and family. These big changes are hard to process and can cause not only your child but you and your family to struggle. You're tired of trauma stealing the family, the child, the life you had before. You need someone to walk with you through this, and I'd love to be that person.

Not sure where to go or what to do, but something needs to change? Your child comes home with misconduct reports from school and nothing you try is helping. Your teen is struggling with peers, depression or anxiety and you want to know how to help. Maybe you are not a parent and life’s challenges have become overwhelming and difficult to face. Stop and take a deep breath. Life isn’t easy and the challenges can be difficult to navigate. Parents become overwhelmed and frustrated when they feel like they cannot help their children cope. Children can struggle socially and emotionally and as parents we don’t always have the answers.
