The stories we tell ourselves about our lives are just as important and meaningful as the actions we take. Together, we can bring your strengths to the forefront to allow you to live the life you want, not the one others think you should have. As a systemic therapist, I expand the conversation to acknowledge the complexity of the human experience. This means that we will talk about race, class, gender, sex, and so much more.

I believe an important part of a person's mental health is what has happened to them. I have experience working with clients with a variety of mental health diagnoses including Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, OCD, borderline personality disorder and trauma. I use a variety of approaches to meet each person's individual needs always with a focus on being person centered. I have experience working with women, men and people who have various genres or are nonbinary.

With an understanding that you are an expert on your own life and experiences, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to support them in their journey to actualized wellness. Utilizing a systemic lens allows for a non-blaming, holistic approach to identifying difficult interactional patterns, historical/familial patterns of behavior, and encourages clients to take ownership of the things that are within their control while allowing them let go of the things that are not. Therapy can be a scary and difficult process and I strive to show up authentically to allow clients' conscious exploration of their healing journey.

Your teen doesn’t know what they want, and neither do you. At home, the conflicts seem constant—you’re always butting heads and they never seem happy, no matter what you do. You feel defeated. Teenagers are looking for a sense of belonging and it’s often hard for them to feel confident and explain their internal world to others when life is throwing so much at them. They need a space for someone to listen and validate their feelings, without fear of judgment. Understanding their behavior can be confusing and frustrating, but I’m here to tell you there is hope.

I believe that everyone is unique, and that this uniqueness should be celebrated and used as a tool for growth and healing. I employ a person-centered and trauma-informed approach as it encourages the client to be in charge of the therapeutic process. I describe it as I'm holding the flashlight so you can find the right path. I look forward to meeting you and going on this journey together!

As a Child & Adolescent Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of children and teens experiencing a wide variety of emotional and behavioral health challenges. I am also passionate in my work providing support and training to parents. Perhaps your child is struggling at home, at school or socially. Perhaps your teenager is experiencing strong emotions and when you try to reach out and provide support, it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps you are a parent and you feel like you have tried everything to manage your child's difficult behaviors, but nothing seems to be working.

I believe each person already has what they need to heal and grow. My role is to help you gain access to the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional parts of yourself to create new opportunities for exploration and growth. My goal is to create a warm, inviting, and safe place for that work to occur.

"Whatever we think we believe. Whatever we believe becomes reality. Whatever is our reality becomes the basis for our hopes, fears and choices." Dhammapada. Sometimes the first step in improving our life situation is asking for help. But once that first step is taken, even if it is taken out of desperation, our willingness to make changes can lead to lives filled with hope, joy and peace. My experience is with individuals who experience a variety of life problems, particularly addiction; the issues that arise from addiction and those that led to addiction.

I firmly believe in the possibility and power of personal change. And having a little support or guidance along the way! Therapy can be as simple as having an hour to talk about you with a good listener. It can also mean digging deep into family issues, attachment patterns, and current interpersonal relationships. Perhaps you want to learn strategies for reducing anxiety. Or discover why that co-worker brings out so much stress and what to do about it… I first like to learn about your goals - what are you hiring me for? Then we’ll develop a plan to work together toward them.
