Life can be incredibly stressful and overwhelming. Perhaps you have been trying to keep up with the multiple demands of parenting, relationships and employment and you feel stuck or that you can't continue to manage it all. Things for you may seem heavy and your thoughts are becoming negative. You may be struggling with overthinking or replaying incidents in your head with the idea that if you had done things differently you wouldn't be in this situation. You may feel alone or that no one understands. You know that you can no longer stay in this destructive cycle of regret, self-blame and arguments that continue with zero resolve.

I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. I hold a Masters degree in Social Work. I am also a certified trauma and resilience practitioner with Starr Commonwealth. I offer a trauma-informed, non-judgemental, and anti-oppressive approach. Care, respect and confidentiality are a part of every session.

Whatever you are struggling with, please know that you are not alone. Together, we can figure out a path moving forward or a better understanding of your situation. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to find out if we are a good fit.
