I am a Licensed and Board Certified Physician Assistant that provides psychiatric medical evaluations and medication management for adults and adolescents in all areas of mental health. I have a special interest in working with adolescence. Adolescence is one of the most perplexing periods for teens and parents alike. This is a time of tremendous growth, boundary exploration, budding independence and physical and emotional changes. Learning to understand and navigating the challenges of this developmental stage are crucial for future success. Often this is when Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorders and substance use can emerge.

Times are difficult for everyone. We are all experiencing things we never thought imaginable. We have families to worry about, small children, elderly parents, other family members and friends. We may be struggling financially due to the pandemic. You are not alone. Reach out and talk to someone who can provide support and compassion. I offer in person sessions where we sit far enough apart to make it safe for you, but close enough to feel comfortable. I also offer phone sessions, FaceTime or zoom video sessions. Don't struggle alone. There are people who care about what you are experiencing. Reach out and ask for support.

Each client has their own unique story and my job is to adjust to what the client needs utilizing an integrated approach of evidenced based practices. I gravitate toward strength based treatment. For younger clients this tends to include a behavioral plan and parent coaching to transfer skills across environments. Individual therapy, for all ages, may include: behavior modification, social skills training, CBT or DBT pending the individuals level of cognitive functioning and identified goals. The idea is to build upon already existing strengths and promote adaptive behaviors to improve overall functioning.

I specialize in working with adults on relationships, family of origin, trauma, and LGBTQ+ topics. I also enjoy working with clients to address topics including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, self-worth, parenting, life transitions, and mood management. I help clients explore and manage healthy boundaries, and deepen their understanding of their own emotional experiences and origin stories.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. My approach to treatment begins with forming mutual trust. With this foundation of support, I hope to empower clients to explore their past, build self-efficacy, and grow towards change. I consider myself an ally for clients as they seek to identify and understand the nature of their behavioral and relational patterns, and I work hand-in-hand with clients on this journey.

Many times people turn to therapy when the ways that they have previously been able to cope to get through difficult situations, or life in general, are just not working anymore. You may have reached a time when striving for those changes becomes better than continuing on with what is currently occurring, but are not sure how to move forward. You want someone to really listen to you and to find effective ways for you to get "unstuck". Making change through therapy can be a good place to start. Therapy is a safe place where you can come and talk about your concerns and struggles without judgment or pressure.
