“Normal is just a setting on the dryer” is one of my favorite quotes. Each person is unique and therefore, therapy should not feel like a “one size fits all” solution. My goal is to treat each person in a way that embraces who they are and what they need. My belief is that when a person is truly heard and valued; that they are then able to attain their goals. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with varying backgrounds and experiences since 2009.

Do you ever wish you could borrow Mary Poppin’s bag of tricks to help you handle it all? I can’t promise magic, but I can support both you and your child as you develop a toolbox of practical skills to address challenging behaviors, improve emotional regulation, cope with anxiety, navigate identity development, and manage other life stressors. So how can we accomplish this? Well, when we rely solely on “talk therapy” with young people, it can be challenging to find success.

Have you been avoiding fights with your partner? Does communication seem impossible? Was your trust broken? Do you feel like you’re both walking on eggshells, trying not to blow up? This can be very painful, and it’s common for couples. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid all conflicts in relationships. This can lead to resentment, which can cause more frequent fighting and lead to long-term problems.
