Are you feeling overwhelmed, overlooked or reliving painful memories? Are you experiencing low mood, irritability, and have difficulty expressing yourself as well as making meaningful connections with peers? Or maybe you are an individual struggling with loneliness, anger, past trauma, and or low confidence. We help individuals regain emotional control in order to make healthier decisions and establish meaningful connections with family and friends.

Restore Therapy and Wellness, PLLC, offers child and adolescent therapy in a calm, non-judgmental, confidential, and safe environment. As the founder and licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to creating a strong and empathetic therapeutic relationship. We will work together to establish your child’s unique needs and tailor their goals to those individualized concerns. You will be seen and heard. Your family story will be respected and honored. My approach is holistic and integrative. It is rooted in strengths-based, empowerment, trauma-focused, and person-centered therapy.

We are all wired for connection. Your quality-of-life hinges on the relationships you have. Are you struggling to connect with your partner/child? Confused about what they needs to feel better? Or how to help them manage anxiety or trauma? Do you feel distant from your partner? Stuck in your own trauma? Is your family constantly fighting and parenting is stressful? Is your child/partner neurodivergent and you aren’t sure how to support their emotional/sensory needs? If any of these are you, I offer a safe space to help you connect to your partner or child and heal from past trauma that may be impacting your present relationships.

My strongest belief as a therapist is that there must be a connection between therapist and client, one of trust and respect. Not all therapists are a right fit for you, you have to find the therapist you connect with. I have worked with individuals and their families to gain skills for coping with and managing issues surrounding depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and behavioral struggles along with relational and personal issues. I have worked with adolescents in hospital outpatient settings as well as private practice. I have experience working with children, adult individuals, couples, and families.

Does your life sometimes feel like a docudrama? You know the kind where you're watching in disbelief, shaking your head wondering what crazy thing will happen next? Or maybe you feel like you're doing your best to "just keep swimming", but life seems to be coming at you in tidal waves; dragging you under faster than you can doggy paddle back to the surface. Relationships, work, finances, parenting, family, friends, health can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Even on the good days it's a lot to manage and bad days can leave you feeling like it's just too much. I get it and I'm here to help.

No one ever told us that life is messy, complicated, and just plain overwhelming! Do you ever take a step back and look at your life and wonder, “What happened?” You thought you were ready to take on life's challenges but they are kicking your butt. You have ideas and dreams to start but you cannot quite find something that sticks. You may be starting to question and second guess yourself. So, the cycle continues while you feel exhausted and overwhelmed.

Sometimes life is overwhelming. Sometimes we feel alone. Sometimes things come into our lives that we are not expecting and they shake us to our core. When this happens, we can't think clearly and we can't see our next step. Whether you are experiencing grief, loss of a relationship or a job, difficulty setting life goals or coming to terms with your current situation, you need someone to come along beside you to help you through. Someone who has been through life's struggles and made it through to the other side. You need someone to help you sort things out so that you can find your own solutions and be able to move forward.

There are times in life where we feel stuck. Maybe you are going through a transition, such as kids growing up, marriage has ended, job issues, or you've recently relocated. Or maybe you don't understand why you are feeling the way you do, yet the sadness or anxiety persists. Still, other times we know exactly why we are sad, disappointed, or lonely and we need someone to process it with. If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or life transitions, therapy can be beneficial for you. Using talk therapy or Brainspotting, you can begin to experience healing.

In my life as a teenager, young adult, wife, mother, and therapist, I have many times been humbled through my circumstances and challenges. I can truly say that I have a peace and understanding for the trials and tribulations one may be challenged with. My experiences and educational background are essential for supporting and guiding others through their journey.

Is your child having trouble focusing, keeping up in school, or making and keeping friends? Or are they moody, irritable, and disconnected from others? Feeling unsure how to support your child can be unsettling. Psychological evaluation can provide answers and create a personalized roadmap to help your child put their best foot forward. As a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, I also have unique knowledge of special education and can support parents in navigating that process with schools, when warranted.
