THERAPY FOR ACHIEVERS- Do you constantly feel that everything must be done and done perfectly? You manage to complete tasks to the praise of others, but disservice to yourself. You constantly worry that you will let yourself or others down. You want to do everything you can to the best of your ability, but the burdens of all these things are becoming too much to bear. Perhaps even more difficult, you are beginning to notice these traits in your child. These feelings may be even further compounded by you or your child’s identity as a member of the disability community, caregiver community, or the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.

I understand the difficulty some people may have seeking counseling. The therapeutic journey begins with the decision to seek help. After making an appointment, the next major step is entering the counselor’s office. My goal of therapy is not to cure anyone, but rather to help people cope more effectively with specific issues and concerns. I help people find hope, clarity, understanding, and emotional courage. My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is founded in the notion that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Essentially, when the client is ready "change is a just a thought away".

Are you a parent and feel like there's a stranger living in your house? Someone who is lashing out or isolating? Or are you a twenty-something feeling lost in the process of becoming an adult? As a parent, you may feel unsure how to help your teen identify what they are feeling & learn better ways to manage their emotions. As a young adult, you may want help managing your emotions too, but also navigating the pressures of life after high school & college. Worse yet, maybe there's been a traumatic experience you can't move past. The teens & twenties can feel overwhelming, even paralyzing at times.

I work with school-age children (Pre-K to 12th grade) and their families to help identify areas of need and develop strategies to promote student success at school and in life. Many students may find it difficult to maintain attention and focus, meet behavioral expectations in the classroom, overcome anxiety, interact with their peers, or make adequate academic progress. Parents often feel the emotional impact of these challenges as they support their children navigating through them. My aim is to provide a safe and encouraging environment where all students and families feel supported in reaching their goals.
