Telehealth Therapist: Throughout our lifetime we encounter various transitions and challenges, I believe these experiences hold opportunity for transformation and growth. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that each person’s journey is unique; therefore, this is not a “one size fits all” therapeutic experience. I strive to assist people in achieving their highest potential for fulfillment and wellbeing.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for choosing to seek help and for entrusting me with your mental health. It takes a lot of courage to reach out, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I am a general mental health practitioner with experience providing therapy to a wide variety of clients with a focus on adolescent, teen and young adults. I use a client centered and strength based approach to treating clients with dignity and unconditional positive regard. We work with most major insurance companies and provide services on a sliding scale when needed.

One of the most important things we need in our own lives is balance. This is often difficult to achieve with life's constant demands on our time and energy. Without balance, life becomes wearisome and at times, unmanageable. We begin to wonder if there is meaning in our lives or even if it's "worth the trouble." In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options, a different perspective may help. I offer just this to my clients.

Do you feel like anxiety or stress is taking over your life? Are you struggling with depression that keeps you from connecting with others or thriving in your career? Do you find that anger is getting in the way of your relationships? Or perhaps your marriage or relationship seems to be crumbling. If any of these situations sound familiar, therapy can help you.

I have extensive experience in play therapy, and I deeply understand its importance in helping children express themselves.

No matter what your child is going through, I would love to support and guide them towards processing and growth.
