Childhood and adolescence can be an exciting time of life, but also comes with unique challenges. As parents we want to do what is best for our children, but knowing what that is can be hard at times. I would be honored to help you and your family through some of the difficult parts of your journey. Young children do not communicate the same way adults do, which can be frustrating as we have spent many years honing our communication skills. When children struggle to verbally express themselves, we sometimes see unwanted behavior.

Finding a therapist we feel safe enough to be vulnerable with can be overwhelming. This alone can make the decision of whether or not to enter into therapy even more stressful than it needs to be.

If you are someone who finds yourself struggling with coping with intense emotions, making decisions you’ve later found yourself regretting, replaying back your past, worried about the future and having difficulties building meaningful relationships, I may be a good fit for you!

Therapy is a journey toward self discovery, self realization, growth and change. Many people find themselves struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, fear and depression. They create inaccurate beliefs about themselves based on false and negative thoughts. The secret to building positive self-esteem is to learn to see the whole you not just your mistakes, failures or imperfections. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" Oscar Wilde

Are you living the life you want to live? No matter who you are or where you come from, life is challenging. We all deal with a variety of stressors regularly.
