I am here to assist you in realizing your potential. Everyone has tough transitions throughout life and I am experienced at maximizing your coping skills to get you to the other side.

I have over 20 years experience helping adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and communication issues. My approach is very straight forward and down to earth. I believe adolescents seek a place to express themselves where they will be heard and not judged. I help them develop strategies to overcome their challenges by identifying feelings, developing and practicing coping skills, and increasing positive communication skills in their relationships. When appropriate, I work closely with parents, schools and probation to ensure we're all working toward the same goal.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in life; trapped in the same repetitive patterns, problems and relationships over and over as you try to navigate your inner emotional world? Do you feel discouraged and struggle to make the necessary changes to promote healing? We all need to be heard and understood; to have more fulfilling relationships, joy, satisfaction and happiness within ourselves and in our lives. Imagine, for a moment, that you are experiencing yourself the way you are meant to feel. You now have more joy, more compassion, more self-understanding, more fulfilling relationships, more connection with a sense of balance in your life.

The family is the foundation upon which we develop our understanding of how to interact and form relationships with people. The family is where we develop our first understanding of how to deal with various emotions such as anger, love, happiness, and sadness. It is also where we learn to manage conflict. I believe in taking the strengths and values that already exist within a family and using them to enhance family relationships and Inspire its members to live a healthier and happier life.

I understand that it's not always easy to seek support. Maybe asking for help feels like you somehow failed. Admitting defeat. Or maybe the whole process of finding a therapist just feels too daunting. Whatever the case, you're here. And in taking this step you are demonstrating, in actuality, your resourcefulness and strength. You are showcasing your willingness to invest in yourself. Perhaps you're struggling with connecting with others, feeling burned out, stressed, or anxious, or can't seem to get through the day with ease. Let's explore the terrain together and work to reconnect to the aspects of life you value the most.

Is your pre-teen or teen doubting themselves because the feel like they don’t fit the same mold as their peers? Have they expressed feeling alone, lonely or excluded? Have they experienced a loss or a trauma that is impacting their day to day life? The challenges children face today are many and the resulting feelings show up in the way they behave and feel. Possibly feeling sad or anxious, having frequent stomach and head aches, and/or behavioral and mood changes. Are you overwhelmed, feeling as though you can't make this better for your child? It only takes one family member's stress to throw the whole family off balance.

Sadness, anger and anxiety are universal experiences; it's when we can't move through them that they begin to define our lives. Getting stuck in a cycle of negative thought and feeling keeps us from reaching our potential. It doesn’t have to feel "strange" sitting down and talking to someone about your life, your feelings and your problems.
